Marblehead Race Week - Day 2

The Annisquam Racers were sailing strong again in Day 2 of MRJW. Unfortunately, the storms shortened the day's races, but not before our sailors gained some ground on the leader board.

Peter Thibodeau & Grace Papp remain in second place in the 420 Championship Fleet going into the final day. They are currently 4 points off the lead.

Adam Piispanen & Sam Denney moved up to 5th place from 7th and are only 7 points off the lead.

Ben MacShane & Peter Remsen moved up a spot into 9th place. Annisquam is the only club in the 420 Championship Fleet to have more than one boat in the top ten (we have three!)

In the Opti Yellow, Johnny Andrew pulled into second place overall with an impressive day including a first place finish!

Matt Egan also made great strides in yesterday's racing as he is currently in 5th place in the Opti Yellow fleet, after a solid 3rd and 5th place finish in two of the races.

Ryan Feeley is consistently performing in the Opti Purple Fleet as he has moved up to 12th place.

Malcolm Steegstra finished the day strong in the Opti Purple Fleet with a tenth place finish in the final race.

Congratulations to all of our sailors for representing Annisquam with great sportsmanship and pride.
