Regatta Management by Sail Newport.
The Robert H. Tiedemann Classic Yachting Weekend is a celebration of classic yachting in Newport over the 4th July weekend. The regatta appeals to three groups—classic sailing yachts, classic power yachts and the noted 12 Meter fleet. The Museum of Yachting anticipates an impressive fleet in each category in 2008.

Elizabeth Tiedemann is the honorary chair of the event. The late Bob Tiedemann was a noted and beloved yachting enthusiast in Newport. His legacy includes the revival of the yachting tradition on Narragansett Bay. From his devotion to 12 Meters, his care of classic craft including power and sail, he is closely associated with the promotion, appreciation and preservation of these maritime treasures. The on the water race management will be done by Sail Newport.
