More than 100 classic wooden boats gather at a mooring field off the coast of northern Maine every August. Some boats stay docked for a few days, while others compete in various feeder races, but everyone waits with anticipation for Saturday morning and the start of the annual Eggemoggin Reach Regatta. With spinnakers flying, seasoned sailors guide their wind-powered watercrafts through a 15-mile course. During the three-day event, daytime is reserved for racing, but the entertainment doesn’t stop at sundown. Enjoy barbecue dinners, cocktail parties, dances with live bands, and an awards ceremony to honor victors.
