MIYC Junior Regatta

Each year MIYC holds invitational junior sailing regattas, usually sailed in Optimists and 420s, where all Junior racers from neighboring sailing clubs are invited to register to attend. The schedule of the Junior regattas for each season is coordinated by the Eastern Connecticut Sailing Association (ECSA), the 2024 ECSA calendar is available here.   The 2024 MIYC Opti Regatta will be held on Tuesday July 30th. 

On July 25th, 2023, Masons Island hosted their annual Opti Regatta, where area clubs from southeastern Connecticut and Rhode Island came to compete.  This was the largest of junior events held all summer with 100 sailors registered and racing in Fishers Island Sound.  Fortunately, we had beautiful weather and a steady breeze all day.  Two race courses were set up for the juniors to race.  Racers and families were treated to a shore side barbeque for lunch and ice pops to cool off with during awards.  It was a tremendous day!  Thank you to all the volunteers, sailors and parents who made this day a highlight of the summer!
