2001 Long Island Sunfish Championships
September 15, 2001
Wet Pants S.A.
Sayville, Long Island, New York

On Saturday September 15 the Wet Pants Sailing Association hosted the Long Island Sunfish Championships. Due to the events that occurred earlier in the week most of the topic of conversation was not sailing. However, once on the water, six races were held in extremely tough conditions. The shifty north winds caused many lead changes and places changed dramatically up to the finish line if a shift was missed. The quality of the fleet was outstanding. Sailors consisted of past and current North American and Regional Champions, a world record holder and multiple winners of the World's Longest Sunfish Race and top perennial Worlds competitors.

Consistency through the series proved essential as the top finishers demonstrated. The awards ceremony saw many sailors going home with trophies. And after racing was over, the victims and heroes of the past week were not forgotten. "People may be used to me sailing a purple boat, but for today I brought out the old boat the the metal and rivets, and of course the good ol' RED, WHITE and BLUE!," exclaimed this year's champion, Kenny Mockridge.
