Ed Harper Memorial Regatta July 26
Captain’s Meeting: Saturday prior to race starts (by fleet)
The Ed Harper Memorial Regatta welcomes Optimist, Sunfish and 420 sailors of all ages.
It is designed to be a “first regatta” for youth from summer sail camp. However, local experienced sailors are encouraged to join in the fun while they assist and teach new sailors.
This is the perfect regatta to learn the racing ropes.
NOR will be posted when available.
Ed Harper, long-time publisher and editor for the local State Port Pilot was a fan of the club’s summer sailing program.
