The West Michigan Yachting Association opened up its 84th annual championship regatta on Thursday. The event is being hosted by the White Lake Yacht Club.
White Lake was calm early on, but winds picked up and made the day’s racing worth the effort.
The Local Sports Journal’s Jason Goorman was with photographer Marc Hoeksema on a boat commandeered by Grand Rapids Yacht Club Director Carl Reid.
Hoeksema shot images and Goorman caught video of Day 1’s races. Check out the video below to see some of the action.
