We are looking forward to hosting a great race weekend to share with clubs around the South here at Davis Island Yacht Club. Please note that the regatta is not on Memorial Day weekend. There is a maximum of 50 competitors in each of the Green and RWB fleets and a max of 25 in 420 and 25 in Laser.
The Tampa to Ft. Myers race, occurring annually on Memoria Day weekend, represents DIYC’s conclusion of the Boat of the Year series and with it, the conclusion of our regatta calendar. This race’s history dates back to 1946 and 2019 brought back Naples Sailing and Yacht Club whose feeder race the week before (May 22-23) will bring additional competitors to our regatta. A 100-mile coastal race, Tampa Bay to Ft. Myers has everything from J-24s, multihulls, and 40′+ footers racing. Of course, the destination is fabulous finishing at Ft Myers Beach – one of the remaining “Old Florida” beach towns. All competitors departing from Tampa Bay compete for the Navigator’s Trophy donated by OH Rogers. It is awarded to the first boat to finish in any class.
