Saugatuck Club Members Score in Massachusetts Regatta

Several members of Westport’s Saugatuck Rowing Club won their events or placed extremely well at the Head of the Charles Regatta this weekend in Boston/Cambridge, Mass. The banks of the river were packed with more than 300,000 spectators who came to see 7,500 athletes compete in what is considered the world’s largest rowing event. Among the Westport club’s first-place finishers were Pam Raila and Sue Padilla in a double and the club’s women’s four. The club’s commodore, Saman Majd, and his partner, Mark Alloway, came in second in a double and the women’s eight placed third.
