First Annual Shrewsbury Sailing & Yacht Club Junior Regatta
SSYC is celebrating 75 years of sailing on the Shrewsbury River in Oceanport. On Wednesday, they held their first Junior Regatta.
Sailors and boats came from all over, there was a sailor from Texas who was stopping to race here on his way home from Canada, boats came from as far north as Nyack Boat Club in New York, and as close as across the river from Rumson Yacht Club. Over 60 boats competed in the first annual Junior Regatta at SSYC.
As well as the Junior Regatta, sailors competed Wednesday for the NJYRA Class Championship in C420s and Optimist, Red, White and Blue Fleets. Maureen Kearney organized the regatta, with John Garth as the PRO. In the morning winds were out of the SW 5-7 knots with a forecast that they would build to 12-15 knots by the afternoon. Three races were completed in the morning followed by a break for lunch and two races after lunch. Sailors were allowed one drop for the day.
Following are the results:
