10 Penguins took to the water on Nov 8th to sail the inaugural
“Trippes Creek Penguin Frostbite Regatta” TCPFR
Conditions were chilly a 40-44 degrees with a south breeze of 5-17 kts.
5 Races were completed with the infamous crew race being Race 3.
The event also was the Region 3 championships for 2014.
After the dust settled the results were 1st Jonathan and Annie
Bartlett
2nd Mike
and Rachel Hecky
3rd Scott Williamson sailing Solo.
The winner of the crew race this year is Brittany Beigel.
Crewing for Brittany
and he seems to have crewed for a lot of past winners of
this race was father Reid.
The annual "Puckup" award was given out
once again. Ebby duPont
and Sandy McAllister
were close in points for getting wet. But Ebby wins this year since he also dunked his crew
Susie Hopkins.
A new perpetual was also awarded this year. Anne-Lise
Fink presented a MORC trophy her husband Walter won back in the 60's on Long
Island Sound. The perpetual will be awarded along with the ICPFR
perpetual that Corckoran family to the winning boat
of the TCPFR.
Thank you Anne-Lise for your contribution, the
class will proudly honor Walters memory.
This regatta just like it's
predecessors UMPFR and ICPFR are the life blood of our class.
Thanks to the generosity of Dr Jim Thompson and his daughter Holly. The new
location is spectacular. It always seems like the whos
who of Talbot county come out and create an atmosphere
unlike any other regatta in the state.
We need more boats for next year’s TCPFR. The venue is beautiful, the
hospitality is the best and the Bloody Mary's are
second to none! Please come join us for next year!
