The 94th Monhegan Island Race & Seguin Sprint was a huge success. With 42 boats registered and over 200 sailors racing, the event made many memories that will last a lifetime. There were first time participants and some who had sailed it back in the 1970’s. What an incredible four days In Maine. From the festivites of the kick off party to the challenges of the beat to Boon Island, from the cool 10-15 SW on the Seguin course to the warm welcome for returning sailors on Saturday night, wrapping up with the sunny music filled awards brunch, this Monhegan made memories!

Spray flying, sails humming, and adrenaline surging, Temptress and Abu surged into the Monhegan Island Race like warhorses into battle. With Isaac’s steady hand on the helm and Teo’s eyes locked on the horizon, MMA's twin titans carved a path through crashing seas and seasoned rivals. The roar of wind mixed with the crew’s shouts as Heat Wave closed in, but this wasn’t just a race. It was a proving ground. And MMA was here to leave its mark.
