All human-powered craft—rowboats, canoes, sculls, paddleboards, kayaks, etc.—are welcomed. Specially made trophies from Seal Cove Pottery will be awarded to the top three finishers in races of various lengths—1 mile, 2.5 miles and 5 miles. Fun prizes will be awarded in other categories as well.
At the same time, a huge Marine Salvage Sale will be happening onshore at Hinckley’s. Wares donated by MDI area boatyards as well as goods offered by private sellers will help to get boat owners ready for the summer ahead. Stanley Subaru has donated a scooter to benefit At Home and tickets will be on sale. A food truck will be on site throughout the day as well.
Proceeds will benefit At Home, a program of Downeast Community Partners that empowers elders to live independently while staying connected to the community. At Home is pleased to acknowledge First National Bank as the top sponsor of this inaugural regatta.
Registrations are limited to only 50 vessels. To register or for more information about the events, go to athomeforelders.org or call (207) 374-5852
So, save the date: June 15. Let’s pull together to support a great cause!
