BYC M.A.R.E. - Chowder Challenge Regatta

 

Hobie 16 wins the regatta against the big PHRF boats

(Marblehead, MA - Sept 6) 18 knots, steady rollers, shifty winds while JB and Tucker Braun lined up for the start on their Hobie 16, along with 32 PHRF racing and cruising boats including J-boats, Frers,  Beneteau and a Kerr-55 for the M.A.R.E – Chowder Challenge Pursuit Regatta hosted by the Boston YC on Labor Day. Guess what – the Hobie won their class and the regatta! Father and son were thrilled, a downwind start in 18 knots propelled them through the 6 nm course. The bigger boats simply could not catch the Hobie on this ocean race. But best of all, the racers and crew enjoyed the post race chowder, hot dogs & stories while raising nearly $6000 for kids at the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Agency (M.A.R.E.)– both racing and cruising classes were won by families with kids, and the overall by a father and son team. Now that is what a fun-filled family racing day is all about – results are here http://www.bostonyachtclub.net/Racing/Results2011/MARE-ChowderChallenge2011.htm , and Mass Bay Pursuit Standings are here: http://www.massbaysailing.org/page/3701/7619

TO BYC MEMBERS
Donations for MARE can now be made through the Club by 
putting a donation on your number.


The Charity Regatta stands as a tribute to its founder, our late member Charles Quigley, Jr. Charlie served two loves when starting this race program - his love of sailboat racing and his devoted support of children in need. All proceeds from this event go to the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange and, over the years, our racers have helped make a big difference for needy kids.

If supporting this excellent program weren't enough, the race itself is a lot of fun. Run as a pursuit race with classes for both racers and cruisers, the race is followed by a chowder party at the club where awards are presented for the top five finishers in each class. There are few better ways to finish the racing season!
