Kamps is since the early day's of the Soling strongly involved with the class. He served for many years in the executive committee of the International Soling Association. As sailor he took many times the podium. Charlie competed over 20 times in the Soling North American Championship.
The 1979 edition of the Soling North American Championship had a long aftermath. In race 5, Kamps (US 697) was penalized with a 50% bonus as result of a protest from Mac Dunwoody (US 574), Houston. Kamps made several appeals what resulted in a reinstatement of Kamps and a penalty of 50% bonus for Mac Dunwoody on 5 February 1981. This decision was made by the TYA Appeals Committee.[6][7]
