Mattapoisett Yacht Club hosted the first annual Barking Bulldog Sailing Regatta this past Saturday outside Mattapoisett Harbor. It was a beautiful sunny day with light/medium shifty winds. The Regatta was held to benefit the new ORRHS Sail Team that was formed this past winter. ORR athletic director, Bill Tilden, joined in the fun by racing on one of the boats. There were two classes of boats participating, Ensigns and J-24s. After the races, MattSail hosted an after party at the home of John and Dawn Mello. Awards were presented to the top three finishers in each division.
This summer, some of the High School team will be racing in 420s in the MYC Tuesday Night Series.
