Due to the curvature of the beach area, and the flow of tides, there may be a rotary current evident. We have planned a local knowledge sailing clinic. Don t miss it. Here s the tide information for the regatta dates. Early August is perfect sailing weather in Rhode Island.
Sea breezes can build to a brisk breeze during the afternoon.
Of course, we ll keep a close eye on building squalls and thunderstorms, which sometimes come through the area in the early afternoons. Two sailing circles will be run, one Green fleet circle, and a Championship circle. Tom Coleman, well known Principal Race Officer to Opti Green sailors and families, will be coming to Barrington and working with our local race committee on the Green Circle. I am proud to be able to run the Championship Circle as Principal Race Officer, and I can tell you, my offshore committee is working hard to provide the best racing event possible. For families traveling to the area, our Hospitality Committee will have lots of information on things to do, tours to take, places to visit, and restaurants to dine at in the area.
