2017 Sea Sprite Regatta On July 16th In Bristol, RI

I know sea sprites are spread out across the country, but for those of us owning boats in New England, racing in the annual Sea Sprite Regatta is always a possibility. Particularly for those sailing on Narragansett Bay in RI. So here is a post from Jon Goff, SSA Race Committee chairman:
