Sailboat
Racing
There's a popular joke, "What do you call 2 sailboats in harbor?" A: "A race." Sailboat Racing's popularity isn't just about winning, but the combination of technical skill and camaraderie among crews. Late summer and early fall are the best times to be out on the Chesapeake Bay, cooler temperatures and good wind. In the months ahead there are a number of Regattas to particapate in withAtlantic Sailing Experience;
