AYC held its annual meeting and awards luncheon on Labor Day at 1 Bay Road (Pt Connett) in Mattapoisett. This year’s sunfish racers were made up of mostly beginner sailors, each learning the basics of sailing under the watchful eye of a parent or high school instructor. Races are held every Sunday from Tuttle Pier starting at 9:00 am. After several beginner races the adults take over and get in a couple races. This year there were four series:
Fourth of July series, July series, August series and Labor Day series. Racers received flags for first, second and third place finishes in each race along with a trophy for the winner.
Commodore Tim Warren and Vice Commodore Pete Asci gave out the following flags and series trophies.
Fourth of July Winners: Beginners: Teddy Asci, Adults: Pete Kane
July Series Winner: Beginners: Tommy Warren, Adults: Nick Warren
August Series Winner: Beginners: Murphy Warren
Labor Day Series Winners: Beginners: Alana Kane, Adults: Pete Kane
Also receiving flags were: Emily Warren, Mackenzie Aarsheim, Declan Warren, Nina Kane, Ben Hayes, Finn McCarthy, and Ozzy Warren-Parker
The Commodore’s Award was awarded posthumously to Janine Forrest for her years of service to AYC as treasurer, racer and instructor.
