Jim Koehler, President and founder of the South Bay Sailing Center in Amityville, NY, is a winner of the World’s Longest Sunfish Race, Around Shelter Island NY.
Our friends at Southold Yacht Club in Southold, NY are hosting the 50th Annual World’s Longest Sunfish Race, Around Shelter Island NY on Saturday, July 18. This circumnavigation has a course of approximately 24 miles.
“The World’s Longest Sunfish Race, Around Shelter Island NY is a challenging, fun distance race for Sunfish on the beautiful Peconic Bay on Long Island’s fantastic North Fork,” said event co-chair Beth Fleisher. “In addition to many trophies to win, our sponsor, LaserPerformance, has donated one new Sunfish and two race sails for a raffle. Each sailor receives one raffle ticket with their registration. Only sailors get a raffle ticket, so the odds of winning are in your favor! Come join us for a beautiful day on the bay, and a great beach party to follow.”
A small, family-oriented club open to all who have a love of sailing, Southold Yacht Club’s mission is to make sailing accessible to the North Fork community.
