Thirty three sailors from 11 states across the U.S. as well as Puerto Rico have spent the last two days taking part in the C. Thomas Clagett, Jr. Memorial Clinic and Regatta coaching clinic. There are many returning faces along with new sailors, all who will be keen to put the knowledge and skills imparted by four of the world's best coaches into action starting Friday.

Fourteen 2.4mR sailors, the five Martin 16 teams and the three triple handed Sonars who are all in Newport R.I. to race in the 18th Clagett Regatta and the 2021 U.S. Para Sailing Championships, will see a variety of conditions forecast for Narragansett Bay for the upcoming three days.

Racing will be run by an extremely experienced race management team led by recently returned Olympic Principal Race Officer Tom Duggan, who had his team out preparing today to provide the best on water race management possible.

"We are thrilled to see so many familiar faces returning to Newport, along with newcomers here for the last two days of coaching and now ready to compete over the next three days of racing," said Clagett Co-Founder and President Judy Clagett McLennan.

A complete list of entries for the 2021 Clagett Regatta and U.S. Para Sailing Championships is available at www.clagettregatta.org where you can follow all the news and results or on Facebook @ClagettRegatta or Instagram @clagett_regatta
