What they say about the Red Fox...

"I love the Red Fox. It is a well run racing event that is fun for the entire family. It presents new challenges since you are racing on inland waters in a point to point/windward/leeward/reach configuration. Any owner, skipper or crew will enjoy and love the competitive nature of the event. Further, there is no better party than one that ends with Mount Gay Rum, fresh corn on the cob and a great game of croquet."
~ Dave Gerber

"The water is clear, blue and gorgeous, the shoreline is lush and green, the wind usually blows, and there's not enough fetch for any real waves to build. Red Fox's timing at the end of August means that lots of families make a little vacation out of it, and there's not a lot of drama. It's also a lot of people's last chance to hang with friends that they may not see until next spring. Even cooler is the fact that it's a real 'run what you brung' event -- the biggest boat this year (2006) was a 70' sled, the smallest a Nacra 5.8 cat."
~ Mr. Clean - Sailing Anarchy

"Red Fox Regatta is one of those hidden gems that are scattered about North America that demonstrates the true reason we love this sport, it's the people!!"
~ Alan Barnes
