Marcedes Lewis Regatta 2014 Videos
The following videos were taken during the Fourth Annual Marcedes Lewis Invitational Regatta on July 12, 2014. This regatta was sponsored by the Marcedes Lewis Foundation, which has proudly teamed up with the Long Beach Sailing Foundation and the Boys & Girls Club of Long Beach for this annual event. Marcedes Lewis operates his foundation and also plays tight end for the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcedes_Lewis for more information.) His regatta allows young students in the Long Beach area to race Catalina 37s sail boats with experienced yacht racers, which helps educate the students on the whole sailing experience – and culminates with an unforgettable race competition.

The Catalina 37s are operated by the Long Beach Sailing Foundation in conjunction with the Long Beach Yacht Club.
