[cid:21b73cd2-c859-4a19-adbb-ccd9f55bad02] Mid-Summer Race The Mid-Summer Regatta will be held on Saturday, August 7th. The Skippers meeting is at noon and the water start time is 1pm. This is a distance race scored using the Portsmouth handicap. The course is typically 3 - 4 miles. Depending on the wind direction, boats will sail around a buoy north of Essex Harbor, north of the club and back to the club. The race can take anywhere between 1 - 3 hours based on your boat, skill and luck. All Pettipaug sailors are welcome. We had 22 boats at the spring race and a tremendously talented RC. We would love to get 40 boats, including some Sunfish, out there for the Mid-Summer Regatta. Letâs empty the yard!

This race is almost exactly the same as the spring Commodore Cup. We will need volunteers to set a starting line and record finishes off the docks at the club. We could also use safety boats and Mark boats on the water. Arrive around 11:30 and racing should be done by 3:30-4 (or earlier, depending on wind) so you will have time to go home and get ready for the Awards and Fiesta afterwards.
