Boardman's Challenge Results

Boardman’s Challenge is MRYC’s dockside exhibition held alongside the Governor’s Cup weekend — not a sailing race, but a set of fun team events for the log canoe crews: mast stepper, “Thirsty Thirsty,” board swim, and bailing boat. Each event is scored low-point; the boat with the lowest combined score across all four wins.
