There are a lot of great kids’ boats and programs out there, but every time I see a Bic Open “regatta” I think to myself, “Man, I wish they had that when I was a kid.” Well, I wish they had a bridge of doom when I was a kid. Come to think of it, that would put a whole new wrinkle in one of our local regattas. Even for grown ups.
