The 14th Whistler Regatta took place on Aug. 23 and 24, hosted by the Whistler Sailing Association (WSA).
Athletes from across British Columbia joined their local peers on Alta Lake, where the weekend heat delivered northerly winds. The wing slalom event had to be cancelled, as conditions were too light to be suitable, but outside of that each sailor participated in seven to eight races.
