'Start of the Classic class at Chester Race Week'

Day two at Chester Race week saw a nice 10-15 knot breeze in the morning and early afternoon. By the middle of the afternoon, a typical Nova Scotia weather system moved into place with fierce wind and torrential rain. However, the sailors took it all in stride and 'weathered' the storm, albeit, coming into the clubhouse a little wet. Most race courses were able to get in at least one race and some three.
This regatta, brings generations of sailors and families together for the week. It is not uncommon to see two or three generations of sailors on the same boat with junior taking the helm.
