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.
