David Dore photos WEST BROOKFIELD — Regattas and water ski shows used to be a regular occurrence on Lake Wickaboag, but for one day, at least, they made a comeback to mark the Quaboag Plantation’s 350th anniversary. There were races Saturday, Aug. 14 involving canoes, kayaks, sunfish and Y-Boats, followed by a performance from the Oxbow Water Ski Show Team from Northampton.

A Y-Boat sail is taken down after participating in the Aug. 14 regatta on Lake Wickaboag.

This move is called a “tabletop,” where one person is held up by two others on skis.

A couple of young members of the Oxbow Water Ski Show Team show their American pride as they perform.

A water ski team member is caught in mid-flip.

A pyramid of performers rises from Lake Wickaboag.

People watch the Oxbow Water Ski Show Team show from the Lake Wickaboag Boat Club, which also hosted registration for the boat races and booths selling food and commemorative T-shirts.
