Summary

A June Beaver Island Forum notice postponed a small sailboat regatta that had been scheduled for June 30, because the organizer was making a tug-and-barge trip to accommodate BIBCO ferry freight transport. A later July notice announced a replacement regatta for July 21, 2013. The event was intended for both beginners and experienced sailors, with a captain meeting at 1:30 p.m. at Paradise Bay Dive Shop and a stated limit of under 15-foot sailboats.

Evidence limits

The forum preserves a postponement followed by an organizer statement that the July 21 replacement was on. It still does not preserve a results list, attendance record, or confirmation that the race was completed.

  1. Organizer follow-up says the regatta was on for Sunday, July 21. This resolves the announcement status at that point, but does not provide results, attendance, or proof that the race was completed.

  3. Despite the thread title, the post announced a July 21 regatta for sailboats under 15 feet, with a 1:30 p.m. captain meeting at Paradise Bay Dive Shop, open to beginners and experienced sailors. The notice does not confirm that the regatta occurred.
