Editor’s Note:
This year’s May 12 Elf Classic Yacht Race from the Eastport Yacht Club to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is being postponed.
The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum says that the Classic Yacht Restoration Guild, the race’s organizers, the event will be restructured and rescheduled to a later date in the year.

The 1888 racing yacht Elf, shown here, is the flagship for the 8th Annual Elf Classic Yacht Race, which takes place on Saturday, May 12, 2018, departing from Eastport Yacht Club in Annapolis to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Md. The annual race includes a fleet of antique and classic sailing yachts, with registration and more information at cyrg.org. Elf is a Lawley-built 30-foot class cutter that pioneered off-shore yacht cruising in 1893 by being the first small craft to cruise round-trip from Marblehead, Mass to Halifax, N.S. During the warmer months, she can be seen under sail on the Miles River or dockside at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Md.
