Rainbow Regatta Chicago - 2020
2020 was a tough year for all. The race time and date were moved, and almost canceled. Yet we pressed on, as if in a squall.
We saw 12 boats registered, with 10 competing. We saw 4-5' seas, and heavy blow. Yet competitors persisted, and tested their heavy weather skills.
