The purposes
of this challenge Cup are to (a) honor the seafaring traditions
of our ancestors by fostering the sailing skills of subsequent generations, and (b) encourage
communication among and social gatherings of members of the
Brown clan.
The first
cup race took place
at a family reunion/regatta in Marblehead,
Ohio (USA) with the actual sailing on Sandusky Bay. Vicki
Foster won the first challenge on July 1, 2007. Look
for a full report and pictures in our scrapbook section.
Details
of the challenge are described in the Heppingstone-Brown
Challenge Deed of Gift available in Acrobat
Reader format (version 6.0 or later). If you

2009
Gathering Postponed –
While we had been planning a gathering at Mystic Seaport (Connecticut)
for the summer of 2009 the combination of household moves,
knee surgeries, graduations, new babies, economics, and other
commitments has convinced us that we’d have a better turnout
if we put it off to a later date – probably after the Charles
W. Morgan restoration project is complete. Stay
tuned ...
