The Maine State Opti Junior racing championships will be held in the waters of Boothbay Harbor on August 1 and 2. This annual Regatta is hosted by the winning yacht club from the previous year. This is the second consecutive year that Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club has hosted the race, as it was won two years ago by Ian MacDiarmid and last year by Jax van der Veen.

Racing will be held both inside Tumbler island and in the waters between Spruce Point and Southport Island on both days. Over 85 boats are expected to participate.

The event is sponsored by the BHYC Junior Program and is directed by Bob and Nancy McCann for BHYC.
