American Yacht Club, Rye NY

The Gottah Regatta is a unique blend of ingenious freestyle sessions for Feva, Hobie Wave, Ideal 18, O’Pen Skiff, and Techno 293 Windsurfer.

The purpose of this event is to run a fun event for youth sailors in a more loosely competitive style, in dynamic youth boats. Results are not nearly as important as everyone having a good time sailing. It is our goal that the sailors improve their skills, make new friends, exhibit first-class sportsmanship, and have a ton of fun. This event will be a combination of “conventional” style race formats with unorthodox “Un-Regatta” style courses and events. 

This video may be viewed to get a feeling for what goes on at an Un-regatta, and a report about the 2025 O'pen Skiff North American "Un-Regatta" may be read here.
