Aloha New York Liberty World Outrigger Competition!

Liberty Race

Claybourne McGregor Consulting International already have strong ties in New York and as such thought it would be fun to get involved in an international race to celebrate with America the 4th of July.

New York Outrigger Canoe Club is pleased to announce the eighth annual Liberty Challenge race on the Hudson River in New York City.

New York Outrigger Canoe Club is a non-profit organization geared towards promoting fitness and camaraderie in the New York community by way of traditional Hawaiian canoe paddling, the Liberty Challenge is one of the highlights of the East Coast events. Teams will be arriving from around the globe, from as far away as Tahiti and Sweden.

The Liberty World Outrigger Competition is one of the highlights of the East Coast Events. One of the great aspect of outrigger paddling is racing. Racing gives everyone the opportunity to experience competition in a supportive environment. At 12 miles in length a race is long enough to challenge the toughest crew and technical enough to challenge the wisest of steerspeople.

Mixed Race

Start Time: Approximately 2:30 pm

The currents in NY Harbor are strong, complicated, and change by the minute. The descriptions of the currents below are approximate based on the most likely currents to occur at the day and time of the race, for a team racing at 7-8mph. Actual currents may vary due to wind conditions, water levels on the Hudson River, or changes in start time.

Claybourne McGreogor Consulting are pleased to announce the entry of Dominic Carlyle, whom they will be sponsoring and supporting to fly to New York as the steersman of the Kingston Royals mixed crew. Dominic has been racing in a number of national and international races and like us he hopes to steer his team into getting his team across the finish line first.
