This regatta is held in honor of long time Lido 14 and Laser sailboat racer Roy Woolsey, who lived to the grand age of 90, sailing right up to the end.  Roy lived and sailed in a manner that was held in the highest regard and, in honor of Roy, we ask that all competitors bring their best sportsmanship and conduct to his regatta - as we know Roy would do himself and would expect of others.

Roy Woolsey (1917-2007)

In 1958 - the year that the Lido 14 was introduced, Roy Woolsey and his son Roy Jr. raced in the Lido 14 Championships.  50 years later, they also raced together in the 2007 Anniversary Championships, showing all of us that Lido 14 sailing and racing is a life long pursuit.  Roy lead an exemplary life, serving as our role model on how to live, love, and pursue happiness.  Roy passed away in August of 2007.  Even before his passing, Lido Isle Yacht Club has recognized Roy thru its support of the Roy Woolsey Regatta which hosts racing in the Lido 14 and Laser sailboat - boats which Roy was very fond of racing.
