East Coast Outrigger Racing Association

[Results]
What a way to start off the East Coast Outrigger Racing Association OC-1/2 season!
Gray over hanging clouds and cool showers threatened early and then the sun busted a move to melt away the long winter.
The crew from Washington Canoe Club did it right. They put on a great race and provided some good post-race beer and grinds.
Many Mahalos to Mitch, Amy Potter and the rest of the WCC paddlers, for taking such good care of us.

On behalf of Jim, myself, KIOCC and all of Kent Island Yacht club, we would like to say "Mahalo nui loa" to everyone who came to help make the 6th Kent Island Cup a huge success.

Once again, we had brave campers who endured a tough storm, but thankfully it was safely after the race, the party wasn't dampered and the OC1 relays went on as planned Sunday a.m.

We hope everyone arrived back home safely, and again we say.....Mahalo!

Aloha!

North East Outrigger dominated the 2003 7th Annual Liberty World Challenge taking first in Women's and Men's Open and the Sr. Masters divisions. Europe was well represented with a strong showing by France, Germany, and the UK. Washington D.C. won the mixed division with amazing stealth moves between pylons and under piers to snatch the gold away from New York Outrigger. The full race results will be posted shortly.
