Nutsfreezer Race
October 28
SHBCC

Despite the fact that many people did not participate due to having brought their boats home for the storm, we had a 10 boat turnout which was pretty good. The consensus was that the wind was fantastic and it was one of the most fun Nutsfreezers in recent memory.

Sandy Hook Hobie Points Regatta
August 18-19

This past weekend, we had our annual Hobie Points Regatta which was also the division Hobie 16 championship. We had a great turnout of approximately 30 boats. Nearly all possible weather conditions were experienced. On Saturday, it was light and shifty in the morning, the wind decreased in the late morning causing a postponement at the beach, and then the wind gradually built all day. Sunday morning brought us strong winds and rain in the morning. Conditions were so borderline that our RC had the racers vote on whether they wanted to go or not. However, the decision to race lead to one of the fastest and most fun sailing days of the year!

One of the coolest things about the event is that we had two young sailors participating in their first Hobie regatta! It was awesome to have Benson Chiles and Cameron Adamson participating in the event and they sailed very well!

Not surprisingly, team SHBCC had a great turnout:

Wolfgang Kornwebel got first in Hobie 14
Mark and Grace Modderman got first in Hobie 16 and are now the current division champions
Michael Evans and Gabby Mokrzycki got 3rd in Hobie 16
Tommy Butler and Cameron Adamson for eighth in Hobie 16
Greg Raybon and Nancy Kornblum got 9th in Hobie 16
Eric Raybon and Katie Wilczewski got 11th in Hobie 16
Bob Jopson got 3rd in Hobie 17
Nico Colaiocco got second in Hobie Wave
Benson Chiles got 3rd in Hobie Wave
Judy Raybon, who could only sail one day out of the two ended up in 6th in Hobie Wave
Andrea Dutton got 7th in Hobie Wave and boathopped and crewed a Hobie 16 on day two.
