Late summer saw the traditional Maple Bay Regatta with four classes competing. I don’t have a report, but here are the results plus some photos and slideshow, courtesy of John van den Hengel. I understand that in years gone by, this was one of the region’s big events, drawing big fleets. I think the fact that there were everything from 200-raters to an Santa Cruz 50 competing is a good sign. Hopefully, we’ll get some more details on this week’s CRASH Regatta out of Sidney which appears to have a good entry list.
