Hospice Regatta

Tentative Date

July 11, 2009

Thank you to all the skippers who competed in the 2008 Jack Beatty Niagara Hospice Memorial Regatta! This past year's race took place on Saturday, June 14th just off of Fort Niagara in Youngstown, New York. We would like to congratulate Mr. Gary Tisdale and his crew as the winners of this past year's regatta! Rick Lohr and his crew took second place while Norm Stessing and his crew came in third. Gary, along with two crewmembers, will represent Niagara Hospice and our community at the Nationals in Rochester, New York in June of 2009.

The Jack Beatty Hospice Memorial Regatta is a qualifier race for the National Hospice Regatta Alliance Championship. It is open to all yachts with a valid PHRF certificate, C&C-29's, J-22's, and Sharks. The National Hospice Regatta Alliance (NHRA), represents 27 organizations that host local sailing regattas to benefit hospices across the U.S. and Canada. The 2009 NHRA Regatta will be hosted by the Rochester Yacht Club (RYC) and will showcase the many local Hospice Regattas and celebrate their 2008 winners.

Plans for the 2009 Hospice Regattas National Championship call for racing in 12 new Sonar sailboats outfitted with new sails, in a round-robin series that will maximize time on the water for all teams over the three-day competition. The Sonar, a 23-ft. one-design keelboat, races competitively with a skipper and three crew. Each suit of new sails will include a spinnaker, a main, and a jib small enough to be handled by nearly any size crew member. “The Rochester area offers great racing conditions, especially for such a competitive one design boat,” said Hank Stuart, who is also a former member of the NHRA board. “RYC and the host committee look forward to welcoming all these winning teams from local hospice regattas to Rochester and offering them great racing for a great cause,” he added.
