Big congrats to Team Gise for their 5th Place at Nationals! Competition was super tough with plenty of former National Champions battling it out, and the heat was brutal. Mark sailed really well, including three 2nd place finishes!

3951 would probably like to thank their numerous shore crew who were in attendance as well 😉

And it was wonderful to see Paul and Marie win the regatta. At home! So great.

Greg Griffin and Mark Reddaway with Amy Thompson took 7th, while
Howard Mendlovitz and Diana Paiva crewed for Chris Klotz taking 10th. So the Southeast was well represented, with four out of the top ten boats.

Again, great job Mark and team! Well done.
