HORTON BAY -Since it's inception in1970, the Red Fox Regatta has flourished. Initially a casual get-together among Boyne City Yacht Club members who would make the Horton Bay Red Fox Inn their destination for dinner and camaraderie, it grew to include members of the Charlevoix Yacht Club and, inevitably, it turned into a 21-mile race and a Labor Day tradition.
Attracting sailing enthusiasts from all over the Great Lakes region, the regatta has expanded to host approximately 100 entrants for the two-day event. The original concept has remained much the same, with participants enjoying friendly competition and the company of their fellow contenders at an after-race party and awards presentation.
