Milford Landing Powerboat Poker Run
September, 10, 2011
will replace the Glen Cove Poker Run.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, it is tough to get a drink at Steamboat Landing Restaurant these days, they are closed....so we are moving 'up' the sound to a new location, adjacent to Bridgeport...Milford Lisman Landing.
The course will go to Port Jefferson, then to Branford Yacht Club and return to Milford Lisman Landing.... a 55 mile run.
There will be a $2,500.00 purse (1st receives $1,250.00, 2nd receives $750.00 and 3rd receives $500.00) plus trophies for special awards. The entry fee will be $300.00 and you will receive 2 hands in the game and dockage. Extra hands will be available at $100.00 each.
Details are being finalized but the activities will start on Friday afternoon, Sept 9th and continue through Saturday 6 pm; Sunday is the rain date. There is a great ramp and rig storage at the site.
They say that 'change' is good...lets make it great!

Saturday, September 24 2011
is the date for the 2nd annual
Don Aronow Memorial Around
Long Island Marathon
a 271 mile course.
Headquarters is the Manhasset
Bay
Marina and LaMottas Restaurant in Port Washington, NY.
We will travel North-East from Buoy #27 to the twin forks of eastern Long Island, past Orient Point, around Montauk Point, into the Atlantic Ocean, past Brooklyn, through New York
Harbor, keeping Governors Island and Manhattan to port, up the East River and then run back into Long Island Sound to the finish, Buoy #27. We will then return to LaMottas Restaurant for the Award Celebration.
The classes are listed on our website at:
National Powerboat Marathon Boat Class List.
We are looking forward to somebody breaking the Stu Hayim 32 Skater Cat record of 3 hours and 6 minutes. The 2010 winner was Joe Fusco in his 31 Sonic with small-blocks at 6 hours and 15 minutes.
Thinkfast Films has interested ESPN in providing television coverage, so do not be surprised to see them on-board at his year's event. Our Kattack satellite tracking devices will provide live position and speed updates on the internet.

National Powerboat Association events take place in high traffic water.
Being a good sportsman, practicing safe boating and keeping your eyes open are as important as maintenance, good fuel and wearing your PFD for an exciting day on the water.
Our organizational sponsors are all special hosts who cater to our NPBA Membership throughout the entire event.
Thank You, Members of the NPBA!

Old Saybrook Powerboat Poker Run
July 23, 2011
What is a Poker Run?
A Poker Run is not a race. A Poker Run is an activity orientated, fun filled and safe event. It is a game of chance played with poker cards and an assembly of vessels of all pedigree and proportion. A Poker Run is fun, enjoyable boating and a time for powerboaters to reestablish old acquaintances and to make new friends.
Each participating boat navigates a charted course which includes designated checkpoints and sealed envelopes, with each envelope containing a single playing card. At the final checkpoint the envelopes are opened and the crew holding the best poker hand is declared the winner! |
What is a Race?
A race is a competition of speed either on a specified, continuous course or to a specific point. The competitors in a race try to complete the given task in the shortest amount of time.
