Restoring a Sailing Tradition in 19th Century Style

Gosport Regatta

Saturday, June 9 to Sunday, June 10

  

The centerpiece of this new conference features a sail race that was first hosted in 1874 and carries the tradition of winning the Oceanic Cup, first won by the original yacht “America.” Follow the race from the starting line on the M/V Thomas Laighton and come ashore in time for lunch, entertainment by the Funky Divas and best views of the finish line. The awards reception and dinner bring race crews and spectators together in the Oceanic Hotel dining room. A lecture on New Hampshire’s maritime history will be presented on Sunday following brunch with the Kat Gang Jazz Band.

Registration information will be made available in February. The conference website will open on Feb. 6.
