Register for San Francisco Yacht Club’s Elite Fleet Regatta

If you’re part of one of the Bay’s many one-design racing fleets invited to compete, the San Francisco Yacht Club’s Elite Fleet Regatta (May 16–17) is not to be missed.

With the support of its event sponsors, SFYC is pulling out all the stops this year. The regatta will feature two racecourses on the Berkeley Circle to accommodate an expanded lineup of classes, along with professional on-the-water videography on Saturday. Shoreside, competitors can enjoy lawn games, a sailing gear raffle during the Saturday social, and a highlight video showcased at Sunday’s awards. As always, the regatta will be complemented by hosted food and beverages after racing, set against the warm climate and welcoming community over at SFYC.

This year’s Elite Fleet Regatta is serving as the Pacific Coast Championship for the Moore 24 fleet, so we expect to see a large and competitive contingent of the mighty Moore sailors trading tacks and jibes over the race weekend.

As is typical for SFYC weekend regattas, guest docking will be available from Friday through Monday on a first-come, first-served basis. In recognition of ongoing access challenges due to silting at the San Francisco West Harbor marina entrance, the club is extending the guest-docking window: May 11–19 for competitors with vessels based there. Those interested in requesting extended berthing should contact SFYC Race Office administrator Helen Galli at [email protected] in advance to ensure availability.

In the meantime, check out the event promo video above, then head over to SFYC.org to register before the May 13 late fee takes effect.
