The fifth annual race was held in conjunction with the Cotee River Seafood Festival in New Port Richey. A strong wind from the southwest made for tough going in the open water section of the course. Local racer Brent Postma - defending champion from last year - was the first to complete the course. Awards were given for first, second and third place in 3 categories: over 15 feet, 15 feet and under, and tandem. Complete results and pictures are included below.
