What a race it was!
The 94th Monhegan Island Race & Seguin Sprint was a huge success. With 42 boats registered and over 200 sailors racing, the event made many memories that will last a lifetime. There were first time participants and some who had sailed it back in the 1970’s. What an incredible four days In Maine. From the festivites of the kick off party to the challenges of the beat to Boon Island, from the cool 10-15 SW on the Seguin course to the warm welcome for returning sailors on Saturday night, wrapping up with the sunny music filled awards brunch, this Monhegan made memories!
