First Spring Regatta of 2013 - at SUNY Maritime

The NYISA-SE was to be held on April 6 2013 at the SUNY Maritime College Waterfront Center in the Bronx, NY. The weather started off cold with brisk and gusty winds and Victor was having worrying thoughts of how to keep the boat upright with Rachel, his crew member on the 420.

14 teams from all over the NE showed up to this event and the conditions were very challenging. The winds subsided and became oscillating and patchy. The strong outgoing current of the East river forced many boats to stay close to shore, where the winds were even lighter.

At the end of the day, everyone had a great time and Capt. George Linzee with the help of my dad - who also serves as our Three Village Team coach, made this first Spring regatta a great experience.

Our team entered 2 skippers: myself (Philippe Tarjan) and my brother, Victor Tarjan
The 2 crew members were Rachel Rothstein and Trevor Munch.
