Lake Havasu Arizona; home of the first Essex Performance Boats Regatta - (Regatta '98). For those of you who weren't there to enjoy the incredible experience, just imagine 160+ Essex Boats consuming the waters of Lake Havasu, showing off their beautiful boats as one big happy family.

We started at the Nautical Inn, one huge collage of Essex Boats following one another under the London Bridge, and all the way to the sand bar. At the sand bar, you could literally walk from one Essex Boat to the other without getting wet. The weekend was full of activities such as poker run, water volleyball, a scavenger hunt, pool races, children games and more. There was also an evening dinner party where we had tons of prizes and giveaways.

Fun would not completely describe Essex Regatta '98. You would also find a tremendous amount of pride, and a feeling of unity that is difficult to describe without actually being there. To all who did join us, thank you for making Essex Regatta '98 a great success.

And for the Essex owners who could not be there, we hope to see you out there for Essex Regatta 2000.
