About Us and in Loving Memory of 

Welcome to our community initiative dedicated to honoring the lives of Ryan Britagna, Ian Duchemin, and Christopher Hallahan—three young men whose lives were tragically cut short in a boating accident at the Saybrook Point Breakwater. Their passion for the water and adventurous spirits touched the lives of many, and it is in their memory that we gather to advocate for meaningful change.

Every year, our waters should be a place of joy and recreation, but the lack of adequate lighting and clear markings at the breakwater has led to repeated accidents. This year, we faced the heartbreaking reality of losing three vibrant souls, and we believe that through collective action, we can ensure that such a tragedy never happens again.

The U.S. Coast Guard is currently proposing necessary changes to improve safety at the Saybrook Point Breakwater, but we need your voices to make a difference. We invite local boaters and community members to share their experiences and comments with the Coast Guard. Your input is crucial in advocating for enhanced lighting, clearer navigational markers, and ultimately, safer waters for everyone.

By submitting your comments to the US Coast Gaurd, we can honor Ryan, Ian, and Christopher by working together to create a safer boating environment. Let us transform our grief into action, ensuring that their legacy lives on through our commitment to safety and community.

Thank you for joining us in this important endeavor. Together, we can make a difference and protect the lives of future generations of boaters.

With heartfelt gratitude,
