This event will include regatta-wide morning briefs and end-of-day debriefs. These will be led by local Opti legends who have spent their lives sailing and racing on the Halifax Harbour along with local experts on weather conditions. Briefs and debriefs will include a detailed daily forecast briefing.
The event will include a pre-sailing snack each day and will include dinner after sailing each day.
There will be a prize giving ceremony following racing on the 17.
