The Annual Amherst Island Pursuit Race and Able Sail Kingston Regatta is being held at Loyalist Cove Marina, Bath, on Saturday 15th September 2012.
The 12th Annual Amherst Island Pursuit Race will for the second time run as a fundraiser for our favourite locally-based charity, Able Sail Kingston, which offers recreational and competitive sailing instruction for persons with disabilities. This event is completely run and organized by local volunteers. The 2012 fundraising goal is $5000.
Each skipper will receive a t-shirt and dinner ticket!
This year, Kingston's finest professional sailing photographer, Geoff Webster, will be snapping photos of all the action; and every skipper will receive a free cd-rom with all the photos! When registering, be sure to include your phone number - we will give you a call the following week so you can pick up a copy from Pride Marine!

pledge form.
