 In
"Regatta", you skillfully and strategically maneuver your yacht in an attempt
to pass the finish line first. Ever changing wind conditions must be taken
into account --- and learn the differences between beating, beam reaching,
broad reaching and running. Generally best played by people with at least
some understanding of sailing, but one can become basically informed by
playing a few games. After Avalon Hill purchased the 3M line, they re-published
this in a bookshelf / bookcase version and made quite a few revisions.
The original 3M version seems to be more popular and sought after.

An
important note regarding Avalon Hill games
- It was not unusual for Avalon Hill to re-publish most of their games
with 2nd, 3rd or more Editions. Sometimes the game components changed,
sometimes they didn't. If your game components do not correspond exactly
with what is listed, do not despair. You may just have to do a little more
checking to insure its completeness.
