A Regatta was held this month, not only to see how successful the Bahamas Sailing Association was in its joint summer programme, but also in preparation for the first-ever Bahams Optimist National Championships.
There were almost 20 boats competing this regatta, but almost 50 boats are expected for the Nationals to be held on September 24 and 25.
“The Regatta is being hosted by the Nassau Yacht Club, the Royal Nassau Sailing Club and the Bahams Sailing Association, and we all expect to see Bahamians from all walks of life participating,” said a statement form the organisation.
One of the major sponsors is the Royal Bank of Canada, with the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Sports also assisting.
