Aidan Glackin and his team won the 2011 J/24
NE Regionals in their boat Mental Floss. Glackin's team fended
off the hard charging Al Contants aboard Blitz to win the regatta
by two points. 16 boats raced in beautiful weather with an early
Autumn chill making its presence felt and moderate winds on Saturday
followed by jib weather on Sunday.
8 races were completed in all with 16 boats competing in very
close competition. Many thanks to the Harlem Yacht Club, Fleet
61, our sponsors (Doyle Sails, West Marine, Harken, SeaHawk, and
Ricca Auto Body for the all important beer keg) and especially
to PRO Vicky Jo Neiner and her team for this excellent racing
event.
The regatta was held in conjunction with the
annual Hoxsie Regatta, sponsored by the Harlem Yacht Club. The
Howard C. Hoxsie trophy was deeded to the Harlem Yacht Club on
May 25, 1938, by members of the Harlem Yacht Club and The Island
Canoe and Yacht Club to perpetuate the memory of Dr. Howard C.
Hoxsie, a member of both clubs who did much to encourage racing
of small yachts on Eastchester Bay.
The original deed of gift calls for the race to be held by, "Star
Class yachts the owners of which are members of the clubs which
form the Eastchester Bay Yacht Racing Association". The deed
also allows that if, "there shall be less than five Star
Class yachts to race for the trophy, the trustees may have it
sailed for by any other one design class between fifteen and twenty-five
feet over all length"
By 1993, the trophy had not awarded for many years, as the local
Star fleet had long since faded away. Accordingly, on July 7 of
that year, the deed of gift was amended to delete the requirement
that owners be members of the clubs which form EBYRA, and the
trophy rededicated to be raced in J/24 class yachts.
