Descr i p ti on
Regatta is about sailing, and boating, and living the
life of a thrid generation yacht club member. It is an
appreciation for classics and a taste for modern style.
Warm woodwork and cast brass trim can withstand
the harsh sea, but are well maintained and polished.
It is neither cottage chic, Nantucket casual, nor Key
West Coral. It is not pretentiously preppy, but does
have details that are.
