The Annual McNish Classic Yacht Race is scheduled for Saturday, August 1, 2009 at Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard. This year should provide exceptional fun when our new local Tall Ship, “Bill of Rights” finds its match against “America” the replica schooner of the original America’s Cup Yacht. “America”, coming up from San Diego, will be skippered by none other than Dennis Conner.
