The Hospice Regatta is coming up on June 18th. The race will be run like a normal Thursday night, with a social catered by Mission BBQ at Tidewater afterwards. Dinner tickets are $20 and must be reserved from Jen Mellinger. The event supports Gilchrist Hospice, and you can go to https://fundraise.givesmart.com/vf/Regatta2026. any time to donate or start a fundraising team.

We’re a few weeks into the Spring series, and looking forward to more good weather and great racing. We’ll have our next Social on May 21st.

We still need skippers to take RC for several weeks, including May 21st. Pick a week to help out. The full list of weeks needed and assignments is at https://hdgyc.org/racing/race-committee-and-course-instructions/2026-committee-assignments. Skippers that haven’t done RC before (or those looking for a refresher) can check out the instructions and video linked at https://hdgyc.org/racing/race-committee-and-course-instructions.

Our tune-up race is on April 16th, and the first race of the Spring Series will be on April 23rd. We’ll also have a social after racing on the 23rd. It will be great to see everyone on the water and around the club room after the cold winter!

We’ll be out sailing soon, probably around the time the ice melts, from the way February has gone! Memberships are now open – see Membership for more info. The Sock Burning pot luck will be on Saturday March 21st, the tune-up race will be on April 16th, and the first race of the Spring Season will be on April 23rd. See the Schedule page for all of the details and when we’ll have Thursday Night Socials, the Hospice Regatta, and the Gumbo Cook Off. We look forward to seeing everyone on the water!
