Nothing beats a lively regatta party after a nice breezy day on the Chesapeake Bay... This was certainly true at the Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta Series Annapolis over the weekend of May 2-4. One fo the highlights of the event, hosted at Annapolis YC, was the Mount Gay Rum Cocktail Contest which took place Friday night. Five teams of sailors (including last year's winner, Patriot) batched up their own Mount Gay Rum creation to be judged by an exclusive Sailing World panel.
HHSW Regatta parties took place all three days of the event, included a very crowded and festive Sunday awards ceremony to close out the weekend in style. Find on-water photos on this page.
