Log canoe racing is a quintessential Chesapeake pastime and time-honored tradition. Races featuring Chesapeake Bay sailing log canoes are a staple of the region, with competitions held along the Chester, Miles, Choptank, and Tred Avon rivers. Known for their iconic design featuring towering masts and oversized sails, the log canoes can reach speeds of 10 knots or more through coordinated teamwork. To keep the vessels balanced and upright, crew members climb onto 15-foot springboards that extend from the sides of the boats.
