Winner Announced in Boat Group Raffle

Jennifer Georges, a riverboat captain’s daughter who sailed off the California coast as an infant, was the winner of the Sunshine tender sailboat raffled on Saturday by the East End Classic Boat Society at its holiday open house.

Ms. Georges, who lives in East Hampton, said that when she was a child her father, a homicide detective with the Los Angeles Police Department, would take the family cruising in the waters of San Pedro Harbor.

She had purchased raffle tickets at the East Hampton Fall Festival, she said. On Saturday, when she listened to a voice-mail message from Ray Hartjen, the society’s president, stating that she had won the boat and trailer, “I just could not believe it,” she said.
