participation increase to 5-6 boats on the line regularly while 3-4
compete weekly.

Our schedule is comprised of weekly series races, one race each week
in July and two races each week in August. We also start more informal
Wednesday night beer can races and hold a number of longer special
races sprinkled throughout the summer.

This past season, Summer 2023, saw a competitive fleet racing, often in
less than ideal conditions due to lack of our regular southwesterly
afternoon breeze.

Our Fleet was represented in the Northeast Regional Regatta last
summer up in Bucks Harbor with three entries and we plan to send at
least one participant to this year's NE regatta in Newport.

The fleet consists primarily of hulls manufactured during the 1960’s and
1970’s with a couple newer boats.

We’re looking forward to another season with much fun had by all.
