Eggemoggin Reach Regatta Award Winners 2018 08/06/2018
With 105 vessels entered, the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta remains one of the best attended Classic Yacht Race this side of the Atlantic.
Organizer Steve White along with Frank Hull of Brooklin Boatyard first envisioned the race as an opportunity for wooden boat owners to get to together and enjoy each others company as well as to compete. The race quickly grew to 125 boats and is now co-hosted by Brooklin Boatyard and Rockport Marine.. The Regatta’s 16-nautical mile course has remained the same over the years and only once was the race cancelled due to fog. (The party still happened though!)
