The Davis Island Yacht Club is a private, member-owned yacht club situated at the south end of Davis Islands in Tampa, Florida. The club sponsors a heavy schedule of sailing races, an active cruising fleet and a strong youth sailing organization.
"The principal purpose of the Club shall be to promote sailing in all its forms, to form a social nucleus with activities for people primarily interested in sailing, to develop and maintain active relationships with other sailing organizations, to promote racing and cruising for pure enjoyment, to promote safety on the water-ways, and to foster a spirit of good fellowship and helpfulness."
Like 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, and a “Just-for-Fun” casual fleet. 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.
All boats, including Just For Fun Fleet: $125.00 tax-deductible donation to Tampa Bay Hospice Cup payable in RegattaNetwork plus sales tax, which includes one (1) Mount Gay red hat, one (1) t-shirt and drinks from our generous in-kind sponsors including Mount Gay Rum. Additional shirts ($35) and dinner tickets ($20) may be purchased through RegattaNetwork.
All Regatta and Series Information can be found on the Racing Tab under Regattas. All series announcements for DIYC and series from other clubs in the area can be found at the bottom of the Racing page.
