Residents of Ferrisburgh and Charlotte, especially those who live near or spend time on the lake, will have a front row seat on Saturday, August 23, for the second annual Diamond Island Regatta, sponsored by the Royal Savage Yacht Club and Point Bay Marina. The race is scheduled to get under way at 11 a.m. on Town Farm Bay.

Organizers expect to attract many of the top sailors and fastest boats on Lake Champlain for the event, as well as quite a few competitors from the local RSYC fleet. Again this year, proceeds from the regatta will benefit the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum in Ferrisburgh.

RSYC’s Diamond Island Regatta is part of the Lake Champlain Championship Series, a summer-long series of races featuring boats from clubs along the Vermont and New York shores. The regatta results will count toward both the LCCS Cannon Series and the Champlain Series.

Details and registration info for the regatta can be found at the website, http://rsyc.org/fast-sail/diamond-island-regatta. You can learn more about the LCCS at http://www.lcchampionshipseries.org.
