The Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club sponsored high school sailing team traveled to Portland September 14, to participate in the Blue and Yellow Regatta hosted by Falmouth High School. Sailing 420 class sailboats, team A featured skipper Sherm Brewer with crew Liam Cullina and team B, skipper Samantha Clarkson and crew Ben Betts.

With a total of 16 boats participating in the choppy waters of Casco Bay, several seconds and thirds were recorded by our sailors who show great promise for the rest of the season’s events.

Next week, Capt. Sally Lloyd’s team will again travel to Portland to participate in the Start Your Engines Regatta sponsored by Cape Elizabeth High School.

The high school sailing team practices every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and competes in statewide regattas every Saturday. Special thanks to Deanna Clarkson for transporting the team.
