Question South of Welch Island, A Record Number of Sailboats?

Partly sunny, so I got out in a mild wind at 9AM, and saw 17 sailboats! (Not as many powerboats).

Went out again at Noon, and counted 34 sailboats! The sailing was great, but a heavy, "long-fetch" nature of the waves gradually appeared, so I headed for home.

Shortly afterwards, the wind freshened a whole lot more, with some very strong and shifty gusts: That had me wondering if I should wait out the weather at a lee shore until things improved.

Taking advantage of a lull, and noticing that the clouds were taking on an even more threatening look, I took a chance and zoomed the last ½-mile to the dock. (My BIL was there to slow my docking speed—fortunately).

But surely, of those 34 boats—including my sailboat—someone can advise of what sailing events were going on Sunday.

ETA: Link.
