Eggemoggin Reach Regatta
August 6, 2022
The Eggemoggin Reach Regatta began humbly in 1985 with thirteen wooden boats and a dream. Organizer Steve White along with Frank Hull of Brooklin Boatyard first envisioned the race as an opportunity for wooden boat owners to get to together and enjoy each others company as well as to compete.
The race begins in Camden, Maine and ends at Babson Island just outside the WoodenBoat School waterfront. Boats must be 24′ in order to race, perhaps just outside of the small boat range, but smaller vessels can watch the busy starting line and greet racers at the finish line.
Post race festivities on the school’s lawn begin around 5 p.m. and include a catered dinner, free beer, and live music from a local band. Beware, the part can stretch deep in to the night—by Maine standards at least.
