If you were anywhere near the St. John’s Harbour front this past weekend, chances are you saw a sight that is a rarity in the waters there as a group of sailboats gathered for a regatta. It’s called The St. John’s Port Authority Cup and despite a multi-year hiatus, it returned to the capital city on Saturday.
Sailboats of all varying sizes gathered in St. John’s from the Royal Newfoundland Yacht Club along with a welcome from other clubs to participate. The event used to be a years-long tradition but had been on pause since 2017 due to weather and then the pandemic. The race returned with 5 registered boats and 4 competing, bringing dozens of crew into the city. Six races were held throughout the day Saturday to spectators delight.
