Third Time is a Charm! The Hospeace House Regatta was a Success in Many Ways
The Third Annual ESL Hospeace House Regatta and Nautical Celebration was held in fair winds under fair skies on Saturday July 14th at Canandaigua Yacht Club. Success was met on many fronts due to excellent weather, fantastic work from all involved and generous donations from so many.
After the weather for the last two years’ regattas, all committee members were a bit worried about weather and sailor participation. Our worries were unfounded. The day turned out to be perfect. We had sun, temperatures in the seventies and wind ranging from 5- 15 knots. We raced 3 classes of boats: 4 J-24s and 6 Thistles and 5 other PHRF non-spinnaker boats. Two of the J24s were Canandaigua boats as well all of the non spinnaker entries.
