New Jersey State Championship Regatta
Riverton Yacht Club
September 6, 2008
“We managed to fit in 4 races before Hurricane Hanna struck and it did make for a wet afternoon and an on the edge of you seat 4th race with some amazing record breaking speeds for a number of daring boats. In attendance were 3 boats from Ocean City YC, 2 from Susquehanna YC, 1 from Little Egg YC, the remaining from Riverton YC, and our winner George Harrington with crew Art Guerrera and Paul Michalowski from Monmouth Boat Club. We also had an appearance of Randy Shore from Quantum Sails who could experience the river sailing first hand. The teams, volunteers, and PRO (and Lightning Class Chief Measurer) Bill Clausen enjoyed comparing stories around the keg afterwards while watching a couple wind surfers flying back and forth across the river while in a spectacular amount of ‘sideways rain’ later in the evening. The regatta was a success and Riverton Yacht Club was very happy to host the event for our fellow Lightning competitors.”
