MYC August Series Ends on a perfect night – August 27. The Wednesday Night PHRF racers faced light and shifty winds during the races which concluded with a fantastic rainbow and sunset as they returned to the harbor afterwards. Before prizes were awarded everybody enjoyed pizza and drinks under the MYC tent. A round of applause was given to the MYC race committee for their hard work throughout the year.
It was a perfect night for Lindisfarne to, winning their fourth straight race in B Fleet, capturing the August Series. Coming in second tonight was Chickadee, Kinsail in third and Fir Na Tine in fourth.
In A fleet, Restless was again the winner followed by No Quarter Given and Cocnuts. Surprise didn’t race in tonight’s race however posted a great win in the Buzzards Regatta last week in the Cruising class. Congratulations to Charles Churchill and crew.
