Greetings, PPYC
The Galen Freeman Regatta was a big success.
The club came together over May 15-17th to put on a fantastic event hosting 10 J22 boats for the Galen Freeman. Both local and regional boats from Indiana and Georgia competed over two days of excellent wind conditions.
We also took time to celebrate our Galen as our newest honored member. It was a very memorable weekend.
Thanks to our Event chair George Heintz, Social Chair Kate Atanian, Race Director Sam Beckman, Shirt Sponsor Jackson Miller, and all of the many volunteers who helped put on this event.
If you haven't already, please check out the Leeward Report on the Regatta at the bottom of this newsletter - Thank you to the talented Ricardo Machion and others for fantastic pictures of the event.
