Watch Hill Yacht Club GREEN FLEET Opti Regatta

Hello Junior Sailors!

We are happy to announce that the WHYC will, once again, be hosting our Annual Opti Regatta.

This year, in efforts of making the event a safe arena for sailing, we have made a few modifications, but maintained most of the traditional elements of a WHYC Regatta: Tshirts, Fun Races, and Trophies honoring each competiting Fleet. 

The WHYC Opti Regatta will be entirely on-water! We will have two different start times (one for Green Fleet and one for RWB Fleet), as well as modified the length of racing. Please see the outline below for full event details as well as in your fleet's respective Sailing Instructions. Please be sure to download and read over the SI in their entirety, to ensure full comprehension of the event. Should you have any questions about the event, please contact us at whycjrsailing@gmail.com
