In fairness to those who have already contributed, a check from anyone who wishes to help made out to LGCYC would be appreciated. We need funds for trophies, the end of season party, and a cushion for next years Ti Race. Nate Dickinson, 257 Vaughn Road, Hudson Falls, NY 12839.”
Dickinsons Take the Ti Race
The Father, The Son, and Spirit: Congratulations to Nate and John Dickinson for winning the Non-Spinn and Spinnaker fleets of this year’s Ti Race, respectively. The first Father/Son duo to do so in the history of the race, and on Father’s Day to boot. It was a challenging lite wind marathon with the last boat finishing at 6 am Sunday. Congratulations also to Spirit, who eked out the close but uncontested sprint race around Dome. Check out complete results for all fleets.
