Sail—Owner Terri Burnett on “Hannah B.”

Power—under 35 feet—Owner Kip Miller on “Miller Time”

Power—36 to 45 feet—Owner Bob Bittner on “Sun Fun”

Power–46 feet and up—Owner Glen Wagner on “Kelly Lynn”

The HRYC Club Members chose “Kelly Lynn” as the Club Member Favorite, and Mark Garrett on “Landau” won the New Boater award.

Thank you to the sponsors and boaters for “the best boat parade ever,” sentiments spoken by many spectators.  For a list of the sponsors and pictures of all the boats, go to the parade’s website.
