Thursday Night Race Series 2021
Until further notice, Thursdays are limited to members and their invited guests.
Thursday Night Racing will resume on 18 March and run until Daylight Savings ends (last race of the season on 4 November).
New and old sailors alike gather on our beautiful Hillsborough Bay for a tradition unlike any other. Davis Islands' Thursday Night Series has been the biggest sailing series in the South. New sailors have learned the skills of the persons who were in their shoes years ago. Racing sailboats keeps us happy. To join a boat, visit the yacht club bar on Thursday night and let the staff know you are "crew looking for boat." Whether you have experience or not, the general public is welcome to visit and become our guest to learn more about sailing. The club bar is open (accepting cards only, no cash) and meals are available.
Registration is now open and available online via Regatta Network. Click here to register.
After you have registered, be sure and sign up here for Race Committee duties.

Tampa Bay Hospice Cup - April 24
Similar to the traditions of the Morgan Invasion, the Tampa Bay Hospice Cup appeals to both cruisers and racers. In addition to the traditional Morgan Invasion fleets, the regatta also features open non-Morgan fleets for PHRF, Multi-hulls, and a “Just-for-Fun” casual fleet. The committee also plans landside activities for supporters who’d like to be a part of the event but who don’t care to race. All proceeds will benefit Tampa Bay area Hospice organizations, which offer comprehensive hospice and palliative care, caregiver education, individual and group counseling, spiritual support and many other programs to those it serves regardless of race, age, faith, diagnosis or financial circumstances. Part of the DIYC BOTY Series. Limited breakfast menu will be available.
