Bettina Bents Memorial Women’s Regatta – Saturday, June 8, NHYC

Bettina Bents was an avid sailor from a young age. She was an active sailor in the non-calm program at Newport Harbor Yacht Club. She sailed in the Adams Cup, which was the National Women’s Sailing championship. She raced in many boats over the years from lasers to Santanas. She was instrumental in organizing the Newport Harbor Maritime Museum as well as raising funds for the ship “Argus” and for the 6 meter “California”. Newport Harbor Yacht Club is pleased to be able to carry on this tradition of the Bettina Bents Memorial Women’s Regatta in her memory.
