DSC_0460 38 skippers and crews enjoyed two glorious days of racing at the 13th Annual Stingray Point Regatta. Great winds and moderate temperatures combined with an excellent racecourse left little for competitors to ask for. One skipper commented, “If you don’t like this, you probably don’t like ice cream either!”

Christian Schaumloffel and the crew of Mirage took top honors winning the Brent Halsey Jr. Memorial Trophy.

The Hampton team of Mirage (PHRF A), PF Flyer (PHRF B) and Blue Bus (PHRF C) took home the Potts Trophy. Congratulation guys!
