When the seasons change and the leaves around Lake Martin begin to fall, sailors know it’s time for an annual gathering where the only thing warmer than the Dixie Sailing Club’s hospitality is the competitive spirit on the water.
The Po’ Ol’ Kowaliga Regatta, presented by DSC, is the beloved autumnal anchor for Lake Martin’s sailing community. It’s a weekend where the day is spent mastering wind and wave, and the evening is devoted to fellowship – sharing barbecue, swapping stories and raising a glass to the “poor ol’ wooden head” that gave this storied competition its name.
