On July 20, 2013 the Winnipesaukee Yacht Club will proudly host
a return to a storied Lake Winnipesaukee tradition, a marathon waterskiing
competition. Several years ago Guy Nickerson and some of his friends
resurrected this event after conversations with veteran marathoner and WYC
member Brad Thompson.

Skiiers will complete a course of about 15 miles, and about 10
teams are expected for this years event. The start and finish will be at the
club, and there should be plenty of opportunity for watching the race and to
meet some of the competitors.

Many of our current and past members were participants in these
types of events over the years. Brad Thompson, John Goodhue and Chuck Coons
all participated in past marathons, and in a nod to the new generation, Brad
even donated some of his old marathon trophies to the event as awards for
the new winners.

If we are lucky, some of the old timers will show up and regale
us with stories of their Glory Days, and perhaps throw down a challenge or
two for future events. Stop by and show your support, share some comradery,
or just have a doughnut!

Anyone who would like to help, participate or who can offer some
history on these events, can contact Casey Nickerson or Ed Philpot.

The event will start with a meeting at the club at 6:30 AM and
will be finished by 8:30 AM, with a light breakfast for participants on the
dock.
