 And with all the lakes in the Bemidji, in the Bemidji area, sailing is a common thing to do. A casual sailing regatta will take place on Sunday as part of the Water Carnivals festivities. Now racers will compete in multi-hole or seascow boats. The faster boats have to give up minutes so the slower boats can have a fair chance. Racers go around a series of buoys that are predetermined the day of the race depending on the wind. We're expecting light to medium winds so it's a perfect day for beginner sailors, intermediate sailors, and it's usually about an hour and a half to two hour race. Some racers were preparing by working on a strategy at Diamond Point Park. About 30 people are expected to compete in the boat race. Just a great time with as many people as possible, as many boats as possible, and some fair weather that's easy to sail in. The race begins Sunday at 4 p.m. at Library Park.
