To the Editor:

The flag officers and membership of the Surf City Yacht Club would like to publicly thank several individuals and organizations that made the recent Manahawkin RAM U.S. Optimist Dinghy Sailing Association New Jersey State Championship at Surf City Yacht Club last week a great success.

One hundred and forty-six sailors, ages 9 to 15, and from as far away as California and the Virgin Islands, were treated to two days of superb sailing competition on the breezy waters of Barnegat Bay.
