A proud moment for my new-found home, Raritan Yacht Club, Sinn Fein (pronounced Sin Fin) won their class and were overall winner in the Newport-Bermuda Race. It’s the second year in a row they won the lot and fourth year in a row they won their class. This year was a lot closer. After over 100 hours of racing they beat Sylkie by about 20 minutes. Sinn Fein will be a lot heavier coming back as it will be laden with trophies!
Not bad for a bunch guys from New Jersey!
They were toasted loudly at the post-Wednesday evening race celebrations. Dark and Stormies all round! Cong
