The Goderich Signal-Star, 1979-07-12, Page 9Sports 111, Club to hold Abbott regatta BY D.R. BUNDY The Goderich Sailing Club is expecting about a dozen boats to compete in next weekend's •Third Annual Abbott 22 Regatta, to be held off the Goderich Harbour. This regatta is for one particular tupe of sailing craft, the 22 foot sloop, manufactured by Bill Abbott of Sarnia. In the first of these regattas, held in 1977, the builder himself brought a boat up from Sarnia, launched it and rigged it just prior to the first race, and sailed • away with the trophy he himself had donated for - the event. Last year, a visiting boat from Bayfield, • owned by Elizabeth Gi-v-e-n, took the trophy in thethree-race event. Registration for ---the ." regatta will take place Friday evening, July 13th, at Snug Harbour. A Skippers meeting will be held at 0930 Saturday; with the first race scheduled fta- 1030. A the final Sunday, mor- ning. A so-CINI—ectent is planned for ,Saturday evening,and the wind-up barbecue and awards presentation will be held at the Robarts cottage Sunday afternoon.
