Junior Racing

Does your sailor have a passion for racing, advancing their sailing skills to a whole new level or want to see themselves on a college sailing team or even the Olympics? Well then your child should join our race team! 

All of our sailors learn and practice sailboat racing skills. However, junior sailors can further develop their racing skills by joining HRRT (Hampton Roads Race Team) and competing in regattas around the Chesapeake Bay and beyond. Opti Green Fleet & c420 sailors do not need to own their own boat to participate. Make sure your child joins the CBRYA Junior Membership and US Sailing to get discounts on regatta fees and other various discounts at retail stores. Sailors must join USODA, Laser or c420 Class memberships to participate in Junior Olympics and National level events. 

Hampton Yacht Club is committed to the health and safety of our sailors and staff. Unfortunately, the 2020 summer regatta landscape is forever changing due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  We want the absolute best competition for our race teams and the Sailing Director and Coaches are working with US Sailing, CBYRA, and other colleagues around the country to develop schedules to provide safe competition.  Each day brings new hurdles of events being postponed or cancelled.  The amount of travel regattas have drastically been reduced and more emphasis has been placed on collaboration with other local Southern Bay clubs.   Schedule changes are updated frequently and a master schedule of events can be viewed here .  There is hope that as restrictions ease each class will be able to develop the set schedule by June 1.  Our apologies for any inconvenience that this lack of structure may cause but we are still looking forward to a great summer of racing!
