NMYC Does Extremely Well @ Sasquatch Regatta

On Saturday, June 18 several NMYC members competed in Wolfeboro at the Sasquatch Footy Regatta. With heavy winds, 15mph with gusts to 25, our members braved very difficult conditions and took the top 3 positions. Alain Jousse took 1st, Rick Gates took 2nd and Cliff Martin took 3rd. Congratulations skippers!

Rick has stepped down as Commodore due to personal reasons and Chris O’Brien has stepped up to fill the vacancy. We wish both good luck.

First V36 Regatta

5 skippers competed in the first V36 regatta of the season under fairly light shifty breezes. Herb out sailed the fleet and after 6 races were completed the regatta was called. Jim had several boat issues which knocked him out of competition unfortunately.
