Mo’ Money Earns Eastern Great Lakes Championship
Fleet 73 and the Buffalo Yacht Club played excellent hosts to the 2008 Eastern Great Lakes Championship, or better known as the “Raw Bar” Regatta. Fifty competitors from as far away as Texas, Ohio, New York, Maryland and Canada made the trip to the All-American city for the July 19-20 event. Conditions were extremely challenging on Saturday as Mother Nature handed out breeze sporadically on the race course, like that of the New York State lottery. It was anyone’s guess as to where the next shift would be coming from. The breeze peaked around 10 knots from the WSW with varied chop. At the end of the day, it was Kevin Doyle and his team on “Mo’ Money” at the top of the leader board.
