HISTORY
This colorful regatta series was initiated by HIYC in 1968 to
honor the clubs's "Adopted Scotsman", Thistle skipper John
McDougall, a Harbor Islander who was instrumental in organizing
and promoting sailing in Nashville. The regatta is sponsored
annually in the early fall. The McDougall dinghy two day regatta
is for all one design and Portsmouth handicapped dinghies and
was held amid bagpipe music and beatiful Scot costumes, with the
past winners receiving a bottle of John McDougall's coveted "Oil
of Joy" Scotch Whiskey, as well as the McDougall Trophy Cairn.
John McDougall passed from us in 1991 and the Cairn was retired
in his memory.
The "new" McDougall has been scheduled in the 2nd and 4th
weekend of October. The McDougall cruiser two day regatta was
enjoyed for many years by HIYC cruisers; but several years ago,
the cruiser regatta was discontinued. After a renewed interest,
the cruisers resumed the regatta with a one day race on October
4th, 1997. In 1998 the race committee decided to return to the
original design of the regatta with two full weekends of racing
in October.
