You have to excuse first-time competitors to the Bay Regatta if they appear gob-smacked when they first head out through the regatta’s cruising grounds on their four-day nautical journey – rarely have they seen such stunning and picturesque scenery.
Thirty-four sailboats registered and spread over six classes (IRC Premier Monohull, IRC Racing, IRC Cruising, Cruising Monohull, OMR Multihull & Cruising Multihull) for the 27th Bay Regatta, which began on the morning of Thursday, February 1st.
