Edgewood Yacht Club & Edgewood Sailing School will again host their annual small-format Opti regatta on Sunday, August 2, 2026 (12pm marina start).

All Opti sailors from Narragansett Bay clubs/programs are invited.

The starting line for this regatta runs off the EYC docks and provides a “stadium sailing” environment for parents and friends to watch. It is also a great regatta for novice racers—back-half coaching is permitted, the racecourse is condensed, and the logistics are easy for taking a break or retiring. Prizes will be given for the top ten finishers, and the winner gets a place on a perpetual plaque in the EYC clubhouse.
