Regattas

Regattas

The Waikiki Yacht Club promotes yacht racing of all types, from dinghies to keelboats. Hawaii waters are ideal for racing, with protected inshore courses, challenging coastal conditions and of course the world-famous trade winds. Races are held under the auspices of US Sailing and ISAF with rules amended for local conditions as applicable.

 

Friday Night "Beer Can" Races 

Along with more competitive weekend regattas, Friday night races are a time-honored tradition at the Waikiki Yacht Club. Members gather at the Club at 4:00 PM to enjoy the "Beer Can" race out of the Ala Wai Harbor, racing to either Diamond Head Buoy or a mark off Honolulu Harbor. 
 

Sailing Race Committee

WYC's races are run by our all-volunteer Race Committee. They're the folks who you see on the little bobbing boat anchored at the right end of the start line, valiantly keeping time with the official sandglass, raising signal flags in the correct sequence and sounding the horn to alert sailors to the countdown time, all while holding on with two hands. After the races, they may be found huddled over laptop computers, entering finishing times in to the algorithm that determines the day's winner and who's buying drinks all around.
