Dory Drake Women's Regatta - October 23
Provide the women of the Tampa Bay area an opportunity to compete against each other with all female crew and socialize after the racing. Provide an opportunity for less-experienced women to compete and gain the confidence with a coach on board. Allow other participants (i.e. those of the male persuasion) to coach some of our lady sailors.

This Boat-of-the-Year event for DIYC encourages participation from veteran racers to casual cruisers looking to check out the racing scene. There are divisions for everyone with choices in Spinnaker, Racer-Cruiser, Multi-Hull, and Cruising. This one-day event features Hillsborough Bay Drop-Mark races for Spinnaker Divisions and a Distance course for the other Divisions. After an afternoon of racing, DIYC hosts our traditional adult Halloween party. Costumes are strongly encouraged for the awards party – for a separate competition of course.
