Great Salt Lake had a Sailfest regatta again, but there’s still ‘a lot of work to do’

Steve Harty started sailing two decades ago during a Sailfest. On Saturday, he had goosebumps as Sailfest returned for the first time in five years.
The decades-old event was canceled in previous years because of low lake levels and the pandemic.
”Like our shirts say, it’s a celebration,” Harty said - a celebration of the shrinking lake’s beauty and value.
Harty is the Great Salt Lake Yacht Club’s liaison for the event that seeks to get people out to the lake and raise awareness of and engagement with efforts to save it.
