Classic Mariners Regatta

Points for style

Belle Starr sailed west to view the Port Townsend Classic Mariners Regatta yesterday. This event is for wooden sailboats. Wooden motorboats are welcome to participate in the event as a spectator fleet. Wooden rowboats, dinghies and kayaks are encouraged to participate in Sunday morning’s informal race.

The regatta on Saturday was light to no wind. Regardless, the Race Committee managed to get off the advertised two "races".  Long distance photos are difficult to take when you are sailing, let alone when your subjects are also sailing.

The pick of the shots are available on Dorymans Flickr site. I hope this gives you a sense of the day.
