The Vineyard Cup hosted by Sail Martha's Vineyard achieved Platinum Level Clean Regattas Certification. This is no easy feat, and impressively they've also become a zero-waste event, with all food sourced locally on Martha's Vineyard. Sail Martha's Vineyard has been working towards this achievement since 2010 when they started using the Clean Regattas program! Brock Callen, Executive Director of Sail Martha’s Vineyard took the stage to share where all of the delicious locally sourced food came from, and gave an incredible shout out to Sailors for the Sea!

The people of Porto hold a huge celebration for the festival of São João (Saint John) on 23rd June. And by luck we were in Porto on the day after the festival, when the Rabelo Boat Regatta is held on the River Douro in the heart of the City. These shallow, flat bottom boats were originally used to transport the Port wine from the vineyards on the steep slopes of the extensive Douro River to the wineries in Porto, for ageing. These traditional boats were beginning to disappear by the early 1980s, so the Winery Brotherhood initiated the regatta, in which all of the major wineries are represented by their own boat each year.

Dicen que ceñir es de pobres. Vas a un destino y justo el viento está allí. Entonces arrancas el motor y vas a rumbo directo. Pero cuántas emociones te pierdes! Cazas las escotas, pones los carros en su sitio, pones las velas aplanadas, tensas como un portal de chapa. Cazas pajarín, backstay, cunningham y a volar. Ceñir es de pobres, pero cómo mola ceñir!!!
