The Jamestown Yacht Club's

33nd Annual Fools' Rules Regatta

14 August 2010

"Foolishness abounds at annual event"
(originally published in The Jamesown Press )

"There was a total of 51 entries (not a record number, but average for most years).  One third of the entrants were from Jamestown, most from other towns in RI.  Six came from Ma. And Ct. and one family came from Quebec, Canada.  One group's vessel was titled "The Wedding Party" and the crew was the actual wedding party for an upcoming wedding and the regatta day served as their bachelor/ bachelorette party.  Some of this party traveled from Pittsburgh, Pa."
