Northeast Challenge Regatta
June 23, 2001 
Wessagussett Yacht Club, Weymouth, Massachusetts
Sponsored by Eastern Yacht Sales

Despite a gloomy weather forecast, 17 sailors turned out for what proved to be a great day of sailing. A puffy southwesterly challenged the fleet and even caused a few capsizes. Scott Greenbaum of Scituate, MA showed his great speed in the breeze and won handily. Jon Fonseca and John Skrzypiec also showed moments of excellent speed and showed they will be tough competitors in the future.

Jack Willy and crew aboard HAPPY HOUR did a terrific job setting courses in the shifty conditions. Special thanks to Eastern Yacht Sales for providing us with the beautiful trophies. We look forward to seeing everyone next year as we tune up for the North Americans in Barrington.
