NYCkayaker Manhattan Island Circumnavigation Race

[Rick Langer]

I met a guy at Foundry Landing (James from Cold Spring) who raced a kayak 
around Manhattan.  It sounds like an interesting race, but I thought of a 
number of questions to ask him after I got home.  James, are you out there?

Does anyone have information about this race, like where, when and website? 
Do they have an open boat division like canoes or even rowboats?  I'm 
thinking of building a long double paddle canoe for this purpose and would 
like to check out the rules of the race first.

Thanks, Rick
