Columbus Day Regatta

Shake-A-Leg Miami's Columbus Day Regatta brought sailors of all ages and skill levels to Miami's waters for a day of racing capped by medals and trophies.

Our Columbus Day Regatta was a huge success!

The event was filled with excitement, laughter, and friendly competition as boats sailed across the beautiful Miami waters.

Participants of all ages and skill levels took part in the regatta, showcasing their sailing abilities and enjoying the thrill of the race.

Throughout the day, participants had the chance to bond with fellow sailors, share their experiences, and create lasting memories. The regatta not only provided a platform for healthy competition but also fostered a sense of camaraderie among all attendees.

As the sun set over the Miami skyline, participants and their families gathered for an awards ceremony to celebrate the day's accomplishments. Medals and trophies were handed out, acknowledging the dedication and skill displayed by each sailor.
