The third Corinthian Stonington to Boothbay Harbor ocean race finished at Burnt Island off Boothbay Harbor on July 31 after a run of 332 nautical miles from a start by Stonington, Connecticut and a course around the Nantucket Shoals. 

Overall honors – and a large lobster – went to a local Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club boat, Apparition, skippered by Ken Colburn. One other local boat, Panache, skippered by Bob Scribner, participated. The race and festivities concluded with an awards ceremony and a lobster bake at the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club.

Commodore Marianne Reynolds and race operations officer John Chapman thanked the many volunteers who supported the race. This major ocean race, nicknamed the Lobster Run because of the Maine destination, is conducted every even-numbered year.
