The 2006 New
England District Regatta was hosted by Fleet 57 at the Stone
Horse Yacht Club in Harwichport, MA, on Saturday, August 5. There were 20
boats from New England fleets as well as outside
New England. Before the racing, District Governor
Randy Williams called for nominations for the new District
Governor. Diane Kampf was the only person nominated and the
voting took place both at the regatta and through e-mail before
the event. Diane was voted in as the New England District
Governor.
The weather
was very cooperative. The sun was out and so was the wind, but
not too much wind. There were 5 races held and we were back on
shore before we knew it. The regatta was followed by a lovely
social at a home next to the yacht Club
Chris and
Linda Danilek, who traveled from
Canada, won the regatta in a very close race
Roger Sharp
and Stacey Rieu came in second and were awarded the District
Championship and SMYRA trophies by the new District Governor
David Ryan and
Same Koval came in third.
We want to
thank Chuck Winans and Ned Steiger for hosting a very nice
event, and hope to see some of the folks at the Masapaog Regatta
on September 9-10.
