Founded in 1996 as the Columbus Day Regatta at the STYC, the newly re-named Virgin Islands-Puerto Rico Friendship Regatta is a wonderful way to start off the fall season. Racing in Cowpet Bay, Great Bay, and Jersey Bay allows sailors the opportunity to dust of their skills after the summer and for younger sailors to compete in racing activities close to the club in the waters where they train. Opti green, Opti Champ, Laser, 420, C420, and Hobie Wave fleets may be offered.
Competitors come from neighboring islands of St. Croix, St. John, Tortola and Puerto Rico to join in our Junior Sailing regattas creating friendly competition and life long friends.
