In the final race that ultimately put Team Orange into overall first place seconds ahead of Team Pink, bowman Andrew Orme steers the boat and calls out the stroke pace timing, while red-haired Venetia Satow’s stroke into the water is what the other three oarsmen follow. Sebastian Corson is in seat two in front of Andrew and Luke Shannon in seat 3. These two middle oarsmen are considered the engine room on a quad scull.  MICHAEL MELLA

Sag Harbor Community Rowing Director Lee Oldak has a full on-the-water life! He campaigns his Henderson 30 sloop Purple Haze in such regattas as the Sag Harbor Cup, the Whitebread ‘Round Shelter Island race and he never misses a BYC Wednesday night race. The Sunday before this rowing event, Lee sailed his JY15 into first place for the day and first place overall for the JY Fall Series.  MICHAEL MELLA
