J-24 Easter Regatta this Weekend

March 18th, 2008 by Gretchen

With Easter coming up this weekend, the J-24 Easter Regatta held in Columbia, SC on Lake Murray is here. The crew from Maine will begin the trek south tomorrow and the race takes place Friday through Sunday. There are 28 boats pre-registered spanning along the east coast from Maine to FL and from as far inland as Ohio and Michigan. We expect to see nearly 40 boats for this event. There are quite a few folks that register last minute for this event known for it’s great after race parties. This J-24 event comes complete with gracious southern hospitality from the locals, which is why so many boats travel so far to attend year after year. We all hope that the weather is warmer this year than last. There was a cold snap that produced colder weather in South Carolina than Maine received last Easter. Whatever the weather may bring, we are prepared this year and will update with results next week!
