The 20th Grenada Sailing Festival Work Boat Regatta will be staged on Grand Anse Beach from February 1-3, 2013 and will provide two days of the most spectacular and competitive racing in wooden, bamboo rigged boats, between the island’s traditional fishing communities of Grand Mal, Gouyave, Sauteurs, Woburn and sister islands Carriacou and Petit Martinique.  This has been floating along on Facebook, but here it is in case you missed it.  "Running before a NW'ly across Long Island Sound last weekend in the 8-Metre Angelita. It was about the nicest day afloat I've had." - John Rousmaniere  Ten Millimeters gathered at the Encinal Yacht Club on the Oakland Estuary for the 2012 "Nationals", the 28th time since the first Nationals in 1985.

The Sweet 16’s were constructed in Kansas City in the 1970’s and a total of 700 were built. The boats are very durable and are like a smaller Flying Scot. As a result of their durability and a loyalty to the class in the Midwest, there are 40 year veterans racing against relative newcomers, like 16 year old Peter Heausler.  Forty-one Tornado's from 11 different nations across the World came to the beautiful scenic location of Torbole on Lake Garda, Italy for the annual Mixed and Open World Championships.
