LAKE MURRAY -- For some, the holiday weekend has already set sail.

Friday, wind filled the sails at the 43rd Annual Easter Regatta on Lake Murray.

Organizers say the sailing competition is slightly smaller than last year, but both sailors and spectators are geared up for an exciting weekend on the water.

"We have had people com from 10 different states and we even have a boat from Canada," explains Jan Jernigan, Regatta Chairperson.  "And each boat has five crews, so we have over 150 sailing."

The regatta continues Saturday and Sunday at 9:00 a.m.
