Harvest Moon Regatta 2024

 

Our Harvest Moon Regatta team this year placed 5th in the Multihull division C with overall rating and corrected time. It was a fantastic sail with moderate to sustained winds of 14 Knots PLUS a following sea (hints the term fair winds and following seas)! The team completed the offshore event Friday, Oct 18 at 11:50am. Congratulations to all participants and cheers to next year!

Upcoming Sailing Flotillas 

Flotilla sailing is a fantastic way to explore exotic destinations with a group of like-minded sailors! Cabins are available on both monohulls and catamarans and are based on double occupancy. Solo sailors can share a cabin or, if available, reserve a crew cabin.

 

If you are a qualified skipper, you can put your own group together and fill a boat with your family and friends. This offers first time charterers the opportunity to explore unfamiliar waters with the guidance of a professional with local knowledge, giving you more confidence to charter on your own in the future.
