On June 8th, five Ensigns participated in the Niantic Bay Yacht Club Early Bird Regatta. The theme of the regatta was “Jaws” in homage to the 50th anniversary of the movie based off of Peter Benchley's 1974 novel. Peter Benchley wrote the novel on Elihu Island in Stonington which is owned by former Ensign sailors, George and Nancy Bates. Team Tailgunner’s crew raced wearing fake shark fins and took home an award (a blow up shark) for best themed boat.
