Big Electric Cat wins Sandusky Islands-Stein Hospice Regatta

Posted on by

With a crew of just six people, Mark Cummings didn’t figure he’d win his first Sandusky Islands-Stein Hospice Regatta.

Funny how well things worked out for Cummings, who captained Big Electric Cat to a handful of awards, including the Islands Cup and Hospice Cup.

Cummings, who lives in Loveland, Ohio, near Cincinnati, said he has sailed Big Electric Cat in the race six times, and has competed in the event about 16 times in all.

Saturday’s win, with his father, Bill Cummings, aboard, was his first in the Islands Race and Hospice Cup.

“It felt great. We thought somebody would gain some time on us,” Cummings said.

His six-man crew — which also had his cousin, Chris Zuck, John Fresch, Jim Shufflin and Fred Walcot — didn’t have to endure an entire day at sea since sailing conditions were ideal on the 38-mile course. They were done in 5 hours, 41 minutes, 17 seconds.

“We usually sail with eight or nine,” Cummings said. “We were shorthanded, and we were tired. There was nobody on the boat under 50.”–ANTHONY MOUJAES

2011 Jack Beatty Hospice Memorial Regatta – July 10th, 2011 – Youngstown, NY

Posted on by

On behalf of Niagara Hospice, I would like to thank everyone who supported the 2010 Jack Beatty Hospice Memorial Regatta! The Niagara River Cruise & Clambake took place at the Youngstown Yacht Club on Friday, July 9, 2010 and the Regatta was held on Saturday, July 10, 2010. Together, with your support, we were able to raise $23,000, bringing our 11-year total to $232,000!

The proceeds from the Regatta provide revenue for Niagara Hospice to use in their work with individuals and families dealing with end-of-life illnesses. Since 1988, Niagara Hospice has served over 13,000 Niagara County residents and their families. No individual is denied Hospice care regardless of his or her ability to pay. Families who are uninsured or underinsured can take comfort in the fact that Hospice services are available to them.

The 2011 Niagara River Cruise will take place on Friday, July 8th and is open to the public. Boarding passes will be available by March of 2011 and can be accessed by selecting the “Niagara River Cruise” link on the left side of the page. For those skippers interested in racing in the Jack Beatty Hospice Memorial Regatta scheduled for Saturday, July 9th. Race registration forms will be available by early May.

On behalf of all the patients and families that Hospice serves, I would like to thank you in advance for your participation and support!

Live Entertainment on the Water
Featuring The Junk Yard Dogs 

One of the most unique features of this event is the fact that we offer live jazz music out on the water. Using an ultra-quiet Honda generator, the Junk Yard Dogs will crank up the volume and entertain hundreds of guests that have rafted their boats or float along with the group. This is one party you won’t soon forget!
