Westpoint Regatta
Weekend of July 15th, 16th, and 17th
The Club at Westpoint is this year’s host

The 2022 Westpoint Regatta will be on Saturday, July 16th, 2022. This epic and fun race will depart from Treasure Island, navigate around Alcatraz, and then take a full-speed downwind thrill ride all the way to Westpoint Harbor.

The race starts on Friday evening, July 15th, with a welcome reception at Treasure Island Yacht Club and afterward at Mersea Restaurant.

The first boats will start racing the next day, Saturday the 16th at 11:00, with the last one arriving at Westpoint Harbor around 5:30. There will be the traditional Island Time Party, open to everyone, at the Harbor with food, a band, and dancing until 10:00 pm.

And on Sunday, there’s breakfast for the crews before they set sail or their home ports.

Full details and how to register can be found on the Westpoint Regatta website.
