Harbor Hospice Chronicle Cup Regatta Twenty five boats participated in the first-ever Harbor Hospice Chronicle Regatta on July 5, 2008 at the Muskegon Yacht Club on Muskegon Lake. The winner: Rapid Sequence, a Melges 24. The July 6th article in the Muskegon Chronicle, our Regatta partner, reported: The crew of Rapid Sequence had just completed a “three-peat” in the Harbor Hospice Chronicle Cup when the talk shifted to getting a fourth in a row. “This was really great, but next year we really want to win,” explained Tim O’Neill, whose four-person crew got off to a great start and never made a mistake in winning the 67th annual race. Winning No. 4 should be an even bigger challenge as, thanks to the Chronicle’s new partnership with Harbor Hospice, the winning boat at next year’s race will qualify for the 2010 Hospice Regattas National Championship.
The first boat to finish was Windancer, a big SC-70 which traveled the buoyed course in 1 hour, 7 minutes, and 42 seconds. Once the time was corrected, with the handicap format, Windancer took second behind Rapid Sequence. Aftershock, a J-35 took third overall, followed by Trim, an Express 27 in fourth.
The event’s major sponsor was Torresen Marine, Inc. who with twenty other sponsors, helped Harbor Hospice raise more than $10,000 in this first year. Sponsors: Harbor Hospice Chronicle Regatta 2008

The first Harbor Hospice Regatta came in our twenty-fifth anniversary year. Throughout the anniversary festivities, people were asked to sign the sail in memory of a loved one. This small sail carries a lot of heart.
