Turkey Day Regatta

The annual Turkey Day Regatta featuring one-design and pursuit race action on upper Galveston Bay is the last large regatta of the year and it's a great way to usher in the holiday season!  Join the South Coast Sailing Adventures team at this Houston Yacht Club (HYC)-sponsored event and take advantage of a great opportunity to perfect sail trimming and navigation techniques while maximizing boat speed. 

The race committee will run as many races as possible during the event; usually two.  Event specifics will be announced at the skipper's meeting. Space is limited to 6-8 racers with a minimum of 5 required for participation in the race events.  Registration deadline is November 16.
