People who attended were be able to observe from the shore or ride on the observation boat that was on the water during the race.

Interlake boats are less than 25 feet and feature a mainsail, a jib sail and a spinnaker. All Interlake boats are supposed to be the same and during the regatta what the judges are doing is testing the skills of the sailors.
