“Canada’s largest keelboat regatta,” Race Week offers an unsurpassed racing venue. Hundreds of participants and spectators enjoy the races and the on-shore entertainment, and sailors from all over Canada and the States attend every year.
Yacht racing has been a major summer sport in Chester for well over 150 years. Its roots are firmly planted in the mid-19th century when the fishermen raced each other to markets in Halifax or New England.
The first documented regatta was in 1856.
