All of us at Wickford Yacht Club have been patiently waiting for the Covid situation to improve sufficiently to hold a modified Wickford Regatta in September. Unfortunately, while the situation is Rhode Island is fairly good, the national situation is still a mess. At this point we have decided to abandon the idea of holding the Wickford Regatta in September, but the Seidenberg Masters event is still on for September 12-13. The town of North Kingstown remains receptive to the possibility of expanding the Seidenberg to include more classes, but too many other obstacles remain to move forward with an event the size of the Wickford Regatta. Therefore, Wickford Regatta 2020 will not happen.
