2011 Hampton Beach Regatta

The regatta went off smoothly in perfect conditions. 10 races in two days with medium breezes and small waves. The race organizer, Scott Malcolm should give a seminar on how to properly organize events. Many are lacking his expertise. Loads of volunteers on the beach and on the water all of which was set up and confirmed 'months' in advance. Donna Malcolm was instrumental in handling the trophies, registration and making lunches for the sailors and volunteers. John, Jim and Blair pulled trailers and boats around the beach. Dee assisted where needed and took loads of photos. Steve and Frank helped out on the water. The courses were set as close to the beach as possible so the throng of beachgoers could watch the action. Many people stopped to ask questions about the boats and the event.
