It's a wrap!

The 2013 East of Maui / Eastport Yacht Club Chesapeake Challenge is in the books!

  THANK YOU!

Many thanks to the Eastport  Yacht Club and the many volunteers, both on land and on boats that made this event possible.

EYC


Thanks to the sponsors, Naish, NSP, Sunbum, O'neill, for their support. Special thanks to Keith Bolen for bringing a trailer of Naish demo boards.  Thanks to Mother Nature for cooperating and providing great weather for a stand up paddle race. After a week of stormy weather, the sunshine was a welcome sight on Saturday morning .



Long Start


Thanks to all the competitors that showed up from up and down the coast and even from the mid-west. Ed from Wrightsville, Chip from Chicago, and Mark and Margo from NJ, thanks for making the long trips.

By the numbers.

73 Total Racers
49 Short Course
24 Long Course
50 Men
23 Women
14 Biggest Class- Mens 12'6 Short Course
13 Second Biggest Class - Womens SUPSURF Short Course



Not everything was perfect.

East of Maui ordered the race T-shirts over a month and a 1/2 before the event.  They showed up Friday.  The sizes (and quantities) the T-shirt company sent us were not  what we ordered. We know many of the competitors received T-s  that were not even close to their size and some choose not  to to take a shirt at all.  For that we are truly sorry.  (We are working with the -shirt company on possibly doing a small run of race t's.  Please notify us asap if you are interested in swapping out your  t for a different size). 

 At registration, one competitor asked what class he should register in, and from my vantage point (across the yard) his board looked like a surf board, and I put him in the SurfSup class. The deck of the board had a surf outline  (and was at least 17" wide on foot back), but it turns out it had a small hybrid bow. I received an e-mail on Sunday from a competitor that felt cheated out of a podium finish by a "pointy" board in the surfsup class.  I never saw the front of the board, so I apologize for putting that board in that class.

The red one looked a surfboard to me.  My Bad 



After the race, I was informed by one competitor that while he came close, he did not pass between  the short course turn buoy and the shore on the return leg of the long course, and needed to be scored DSQ.  It sounds like several of the long course racers failed to honor that mark,(but we have no way to know who did and who didn't), and our  feeling is that it didn't change any positions, so we opted not to DSQ anyone. Sorry for any other mistakes we made. We will try to do it better next time!
