Columbia Sailing Club's Easter Regatta now called "Nor Easter" has been cancelled due to increasing concerns with the spread of Covad 19 (Coronavirus). Those who have signed up probably received this email from the Commodore:
"Hello this is Bruce Seiffert again the Commodore of Columbia Sailing Club. Per my earlier email I have heard from a couple of you regarding having to cancel reservations and one regarding airfare and what way are we leaning on canceling? Based now on what has transpired in the last two hours in the world of sport on we are going to CANCEL the Nor Easter Regatta and hoping to see you next year. Thank you for your support and hope you and yours remain healthy >> Take Care!"
International Sunfish Class Association has also cancelled their Midwinters US Championship, Master and Team Championships, so this seems to be a rapidly growing trend in sport.
