Eggemoggin Reach Regatta 2012

I was out yesterday aboard Here & Now, a wooden sloop built 2004 by Gannon & Benjamin of Vineyard Haven. We were sailing in the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta.  Zero breeze in the morning, so the start was delayed until noon. By mid-afternoon it was blowing 18 knots out in Jericho Bay. Here is "Spartan", a NY 50 built 1912-13 by Mr Herreshoff. 

There were a few schooners in the race. "Adventuress"
A William Fife design, recently restored & relaunched by Rockport Marine.
