The Youth Regatta that was held this weekend in Placencia Village was a huge success.
Even though the day was windy and challenging, the event turned to be a great weekend for all of the sailors who participated.
“Chabil Mar is proud of our sailor Cianna Garbutt who did an amazing job in the race,” Marketing Manager of Chabil Mar Larry France said about the Youth Regatta which his resort helped to sponsor.

This year’s race started on the piece of beach between Cozy Corner and Tipsy Tuna and featured young sailors from optimist clubs around Belize.
Organized by the Placencia Sailing Club, the purpose of the event is to teach children how to sail and race and to immerse them in a fun and exciting sport that will strengthen them mentally and physically. The race also helps to improve the self-esteem, self-confidence and leadership skills of children.
