Breakwater Boats Place in Challenge Regatta
Nine Sag Harbor sailing crews participated in this year’s Antigua and Barbuda Hamptons Challenge sailing regatta on Aug. 18, with the Breakwater Yacht Club boat Seventh Heaven, captained by Greg and Jennifer Ames, coming in second place. Osprey, another boat from Sag Harbor and captained by George Martin, finished third.
The crew of the winning boat, August Sky, captained by Phil Walters, won a free trip to Antigua for the 2019 Antigua Race Week in April, courtesy of the government of Antigua and Barbuda. August Sky races out of the Lloyd Harbor and Centerport Yacht Clubs.
The race was held in Noyac Bay. There were 24 boats in three divisions.
Following the nearly two-hour race was an award ceremony and party at Havens Beach in Sag Harbor, where the Honorable H. Charles Fernandez, the Antiguan minister of tourism and development, announced the regatta’s winners. The event included a fundraiser for i-tri, a local charity that works to empower young girls and women through triathlon training.
There also was a moment of silence for the late Rob Roden, who organized the regatta each year. Mr. Roden, 70, died on Aug. 11 of cancer.
