tentative 2024-2025 Regattas
Most Florida regattas are attended by teams from all over the state. We typically leave on Friday morning so we can practice on the course on Friday afternoon and racing takes place on Saturday only. For our championship and out-of-state regattas, racing takes place over 2-4 days.
