Question 8

Local Annual Event: Rick's Regatta

Accepted Answer

Rick’s Regatta Saturday, Aug. 13, 2022  Regattas are a great way for new and experienced sailors to challenge themselves and improve! The mood of a lake does not distinguish between pro or novices. The boat and crew that makes the fewest mistakes is usually the winner. Sailing a perfect race means making all the maneuvers flawlessly. Fast does not always win.   Spectators, come and cheer on your favorite sailboat (bring binoculars). We’re looking for a good breeze and full sails!   If the wind is greater than 25 mph or less than 4 mph, or a threat of lightning the regatta may be postponed.  10 AM - Skipper’s Meeting 11 AM  - Red Flag Start Race starts and ends at Sorenson’s Beach, off of HWY 81.  Registration and Fee Information: Contact Clark Perkins, clarkdeb@brookings.net or (605) 691-9130.   Sponsored by Lake Poinsett Sailing Academy
