Dixie Sailing Club - Po Ol Kowaliga Regatta Report

  • By Guest , on 21 October 2023 20:18

This year, the Dixie Sailing Club on Lake Martin, Alabama, reinstituted the Po Ol Kowaliga Regatta. The POK was our open multi-hull regatta in the Fall that drew local and Gulf Coast sailors for many years. With less multi-hull participation in the 90s, the POK became an open regatta. This year, we had good local participation but no traveling sailors. Our C22 fleet of 28 boats includes current C22 National Gold Champion Keith Bennett, C22 National Silver Fleet Champion Bobby Edmond, and past C22 National Gold Champion Mickey Richardson.
