Out here between the forks on the eastern end of long island we have the "around shelter island" regatta usually in late july early august. In early october we have the "whitebread" race. It's about 35 miles up little peconic bay, around shelter island and back. There are typically 70+ boats-mainly monoslugs but the multihulls have their own division. The party afterwards is legendary.
