HYC Regatta

Over the weekend we sent three 420's to the Hyannis Yacht Club regatta. Usually HYC regatta brings winds gusting to 30 mph but that all changed this year! The first two days of the regatta brought light breeze of 5-7. We had some very frustrated sailors in the 101 boat fleet. They were competing against sailors from all over the world in this open regatta. They sailed against teams from Chicago, Annapolis, Bermuda, Ft. Lauderdale and many others!

We also want to extend a BIG congratulations to 420-A Coach Mildred Conroy for her debut appearance in her new J-22. She placed 2nd overall in the regatta!! She raced against many experienced J-22 sailors and blew them away with her racing talent. She had Opti-A coach Brooke Baker aboard as crew so make sure to congratulate her as well! Patrick Hession, Ali Love and DJ Hatch also sailed fast on the 420 line! Way to go WDYC coaches!

We also had one WDYC opti sailor compete at Hyannis! Congratulations to blue fleet sailor, Ryan Vittimberga for his participation in the 3 day event. He sailed against opti racers from all over the country and had a great time out there. Way to go Mythbuster!
