The Blue Chip Regatta is hosted by the Pewaukee Yacht Club in Wisconsin. The E Scow is a 28 foot lightweight racing sailboat built by Melges with an asymmetric spinnaker, sailed by 3 to 4 people that can easily reach speeds in excess of 20 knots. Each year, an elite, international sailor is invited as a special guest that is kept a mystery until just before the event. We provide the sailboat and the crew. If you love sailing, you must follow this event.
