GILFORD – About two dozen children between ages 12 and 18 took to the waters of Lake Winnipe- saukee last week for the Winnipesaukee Annual Re- gatta, with Lake Winnipesaukee Sailing Association Executive Director Amy Tripp saying aside from some early wind issues, everything went off without a hitch. “All of the clubs seemed to have a great time and the new kids who had never raced before had a real- ly great experience,” said Tripp. It was a beautiful day for sailing, with Tripp say- ing the racers got out on the water a little after 10 a.m. Results for both types of boats are below. The LWSA has been around for 31 years and the annual regatta has been going for more than two de- cades. The association focuses on youth sailing in the spring and summer through camps with hands on learning. For more information log onto www.lwsa.org.
