#5 regatta

Descr i pt i on

Regatta is about sailing, and boating, and living the

life of a thrid generation yacht club member. It is an

appreciation for classics and a taste for modern style.

the harsh sea, but are well maintained and polished.

It is neither cottage chic, Nantucket casual, nor Key

West Coral. It is not pretentiously preppy, but does

have details that are.
