ALIR Course Record

REGATTA UPDATE

U.S. Merchant Marine Academy’s entry of Alchemy has completed the Around Long Island Regatta with a new course record of 17 hours, 48 minutes, and 40 seconds.  Captain Chris Gasoriek and coach Ralph Seitz led the midshipmen aboard the USMMA Andrews 77 to victory.  This beats the previous record of 19.9 hours held by Mirage, a multihull, set in the 1983 Around Long Island Regatta.  The best mono-hull time for the ALIR was set in 2002 by Bright Star with 22.2 hours.
