Last Thursday we wrapped up the 2025 HYC Youth Regatta!
It was a mixed bag of weather offering the 130+ young sailors a great chance to learn and compete and share the challenges under often trying circumstances. Day 1 we had next to no wind and strong tidal currents to deal with. Day 2 we had fog and then difficult winds to face and all but the Opti Green races were canceled. The kids from 10+ clubs still had a great time hanging out together at the club and on the water sailing in Casco Bay!
The volunteer turn-out and effort was extraordinary. Henry Bliss, the YR chair again this year, and the amazing team working with him, once again pulled rabbits out of many hats to make this many-layered mission successful. I heard from several folks “from away” whose kids attend regattas at numerous clubs across New England that “nobody does a kids’ regatta better than HYC!”
