Chester Race Week Begins


It's hailed as Canada's largest keel boat regatta. Over 130 boats are expected to make a splash in the water at the Chester Yacht Club for Race Week from Wednesday until Saturday. Local competitors from Bridgewater, Lunenburg and LaHave are in the field as well as others across the province and Saint John, New Brunswick and Charlottetown, PEI. Boats will race around four different courses including the Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta. Yacht Club Commodore Randy Stevens says the event should provide some spin-offs to the area.



Live entertainment is also provided for people once the races are complete. More details can be found at http://chesterraceweek.com/.
