The 3rd Corinthian Stonington to Boothbay Harbor ocean race finished at Burnt Island off Boothbay Harbor July 31, after a run of 332 nautical miles from a start off Stonington, Conn., and a course around the Nantucket Shoals.
Overall honors, and a large lobster, went to a local Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club boat, Apparition skippered by Ken Colburn. One other local boat, Panache skippered by Bob Scribner participated. The race and festivities concluded with an awards ceremony and a lobster bake at the BHYC.
Commodore Marianne Reynolds and race operations officer John Chapman thanked the many volunteers who supported the race. This major ocean race, nicknamed the Lobster Run because of the Maine destination, is conducted in even numbered years.
