Eight hardy laser sailors, young and young at heart, answered the call for the Annual Fall Laser Regatta at Great Bay Yacht Club on Sunday, October 2, 2022.
Local laser sailors were joined by competitors from up and down the seacoast to race the mighty Piscataqua River. Gusts (remnants of Hurricane Ian) up to 25 miles per hour made for an interesting, fast paced afternoon of racing.
The sailors got five races in on an incoming tide. The regatta was followed by a sunset barbecue and awards presented by GBYC Sailing Master Tom Brown.

Winners were:
1st Place: Peter Follansbee
2nd Place: Eric Cutting
3rd Place: Brad Holt
4th Place: Stephen Kosacz
5th Place: Nat Cook

GBYC plans to celebrate it’s 65th anniversary in 2023, in conjunction with Dover400 celebrations, with a Grand MerryMac Regatta on June 24th, 2023
