The 2009 ANNUAL HUDSON YACHT CLUB/LABOUR DAY REGATTA will be held thru September 4 – 6, 2009. The Regatta will open on Saturday with the traditional Long Distance Race. This one-of-a-kind event attracts hundreds of competitors and boasts one of the largest starting lines of any keelboat race in Eastern Canada. Come test your racing skills or participate just for the sheer pleasure of it.
Off the water, and back by popular request, the mood is set by the rhythms of the traditional Trinidad Playboys Steel Band that greet your arrival back at the Club for the post-race festivities from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.
For those of you with the energy for more sailing, there will be time trials run in HYC dinghies for crews of 2 from the Web pier between 4pm and 6pm
Stay and enjoy our famous BBQ and Corn Boil, take in the spectacular HYC sunset and dance the evening away to the live sounds of Moonlight beginning at 9 p.m.
Racing will continue for keelboats on Sunday with 3 races to decide the Labour Day Regatta Series, with starts for each PHRF fleet and White Sail.
