2009 Spring Regatta Results
This year saw the re-introduction of the HYC Spring Regatta, on the 125th anniversary of its first running, in 1884.
Two divisions (Beneteau 36.7 and J/24) were registered, although the B-36.7's had minimal attendance. The J/24's, however, had 6 boats and got in three races on Saturday, and another three on Sunday. First place, and the 2009 Director's Prize was awarded to Paul Beaudin, who skippered Express to a perfect first place finish with five bullets.

Thai Hot and Rally Point compete in Stonington to Boothbay Harbor
The inaugural Stonington to Boothbay Harbor Race (aka the Lobster Run) started Sunday morning. Rear Commodore Bob Fleno's Thai Hot and past commodore Tom Lane's Rally Point, both boats crewed by HYC members, are among the contenders. You can follow their progress at http://charthorizon.com/races/2008_stonington_boothbay/htdocs/
As of early Monday morning, Thai Hot, in division A, was about 20 miles from the first mark and making 4.9 kts over the ground. Rally Point, in division C, was about 50 miles from the mark, and making 2.9 kts.
Vice Commodore's Regatta
The Vice Commodore's Regatta is one of Harlem's newer events. Designed to encourage mixing of the species, the rules for this race require that each boat be crewed by a mix of sailboat owners and powerboat owners.
