A fun ski race and gathering of sailors to benefit the Sail Salem community sailing program.
Saturday – March 7, 2026 Cranmore Mountain, NH
In Memory of Brad White - a sailor, a skier, a friend, a husband, a father, a brother and a sail maker.
The Snowflake Regatta is a fun ski race for sailors and powerboaters. An annual event held in March, it has evolved over the years. On February 18th at 6 PM a Warm-up Party will be at Sea Level in Salem, Massachusetts.
The remaining events take place in or near North Conway, New Hampshire.
A Skippers Meeting will at 5 PM Friday evening March 6th at Sea Dog in North Conway. Pre-registered racers can pick up their racing materials and, with family and friends, have a festive evening with food and beverage.
The Ski Race is held March 7th at Cranmore Mountain. The race is open to racers of all ages—boys, girls, men, and women. You may compete individually and as part of a team. Frequently, sailboat and powerboat racing teams compete as teams (and as individuals), as do some families. Racers of all abilities are welcome, from experienced racers to those who may be inclined to snowplow. Handicaps are assigned based on age and sex.

The proceeds are contributed to a Sail Salem Scholarship fund, in memory of Brad White, and are used to make the summer sailing camps available to children needing financial assistance.
And…if you can’t join us, please consider a donation to Sail Salem.
