Nick Hayes of
Milwaukee, WI, sailing his B-32 SYRENA, tore up the fleet for
the second year running at the 2005 Hook Race. The Hook is 197
miles of racing that starts from the port of Racine, Wisconsin,
on the western shore of Lake Michigan, goes up the coast to
Death's Door, turns the corner and traverses Green Bay to finish
at the western end of the Sturgeon Bay shipping canal.
SYRENA beat a 56 boat fleet to the line and was First-to-Finish,
First in Class, and First Overall...again! Congratulations,
