On Saturday, April 23, the high school sailing team participated in a scrimmage regatta at Rockland Community Sailing with teams from Camden, Islesboro and Rockland participating. Sailing in dry suits provided by Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club in 12 to 20 knot winds, there were three fleet races and four team races. The team is practicing Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons this week and will compete again next weekend.

Sailors come from the Center for Teaching and Learning in Edgecomb, four from the Boothbay schools, four from Lincoln Academy, and two who are home schooled.

Practices can be observed from the embankment on the Department of Marine Resources property in West Boothbay Harbor.

Information on the program, which is an activity of the BHYC's Junior Program and is supported by the BHYC Junior Program Foundation, can be secured by calling the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club at 207-633-5750.
