On Sunday, June 26 at 1 p.m., the Boothbay Harbor One Design sailboats will have short races in the inner harbor to announce the start of Windjammer Week.

All One Design owners, whether or not you belong to the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club, are invited to race and to join the fun and camaraderie following the races at the Yacht Club. Following the races will be prizes and a Commodore’s Punch. Among the prizes, the owners of the Gold/Smith Gallery of Boothbay Harbor are donating one their special Boothbay Harbor One Design bracelets made of stainless steel and designed by Guy Beard.

One Designs that do not have their own mooring can tie up at the Yacht Club dock following the races or ask the stewards for an empty mooring. Look for the starting boat off McKown Point.

The best viewing locations for the Windjammer Day One Design races will be from the Department of Marine Resources on McKown Point Road in West Boothbay Harbor.
