Regattas on Lake Quassapaug
The Ultimate Weekend
Snipe Fleet 231 at the Quassapaug Sailing Center host three regional regattas during the summer. Our events embody the Snipe saying "Serious Sailing, Serious Fun". Our venues are very very family friendly. Most of the teams in our regattas are family members sailing together.
Quassy regattas are so much more than just sailing: swimming, paddling, hanging out, eating, dancing, and camping. A very relaxed and fun weekend. Just ask anyone who has been to a Quassy event.

The Quassapaug Team Racing Intergalatic Championship in Snipes - Q-TRICkS
Saturday, July ??, 2024
Snipe Fleet 231 and the Quassapaug Sailing Center is hosting a fun Team Racing event. No team racing experience is required to participate. Our goal is to expose folks to Team Racing by giving them a chance to try Team Racing. The atmosphere will be very relaxed, Quassapaug style.
The event will be run in two sections. The first will be more of an intro to team racing. We will be selecting teams at the event, and attempting to give everyone who would like, a chance to skipper. Efforts will be made to have folks of similar experience levels racing against one another. Lopsided Team Races are not much fun. All Competitors will be asked to take a turn at helping with the Race Committee as part of the rotation. More experienced team racers will be selected as crews (or tacticians) for this section.
The second part will be for more experienced team racers, and folks can show up as already formed teams for this part, although we will also be forming teams that morning too. Less experienced team racers will be encouraged to crew, spectate, and be RC for this part of the event. All teams will take a turn at being RC.
The 2019 event was very fun and quite a success. See the write-up under regatta results
