“HOOLIGAN Racing is more than just sailing; it’s a group of friends sailing as a team on different boats over the years… the goal is to keep expanding the group while creating a fun atmosphere on and off the water. ”
~ Trey Sheehan
John Evans and Trey Sheehan purchased their “bucket list” boat in 2021 and since that time their established team of friends has had “more fun than ever before.’” HOOLIGAN has already competed in three SORC seasons, Bermuda, Antigua, Caribbean 600, St. Maarten, Nassau, Antigua Race Week and Around Block Island.
Team HOOLIGAN has a strong core group. In addition to John and Trey, members include Zyggy Beaty (boat captain), Brad Boston (tactician), Nick Ward (navigator), Curtis Florence, Abie McLaughlin, Chris Bush, Matt Koch, Andrew MacRae, Zach Mason, Audrey Sheehan and Eric Vigrass with others joining the crew as needed.
HOOLIGAN has already sailed against FOX, CALLISTO and WARRIOR (winning some races) and look forward to meeting the rest of the GP52 fleet in the Great Lakes. For the 2024 season, HOOLIGAN is heading north to check off more bucket list regattas including the MAC (distance) races as well as some windward-leeward events.
“We want to be competitive in the longer races and hope to have some close competition with the older 52s –we anticipate a great mix of speed and good groups within the fleet.” ~ John Evans
