Sailing World Regatta Series

In 1988, Sailing World magazine created a national one-design regatta series that was an immediate success with its unique concept of racing in larger production boats, unrivaled post-racing social experiences and professional race management. Now named the Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta Series, the events are the most popular racing weekends in the United States and encompass more than the larger one-design boats. Embracing popular fleets at each location, fleets now include dinghies, multihulls, and keelboats that all compete under established handicap systems for both buoy and distance races. Sponsors and partners continue to engage and grow the sailing community at regatta socials with race videos, games, food and cocktails for all ages at the host yacht club every day after racing.

All Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta Series events are supported by premier host yacht clubs in renown sailing venues. At the conclusion of each regatta, one top-finishing team is selected to compete in the overall season championship, held in the British Virgin Islands in October. The Regatta Series is owned and managed by Sailing World, a Firecrown Media, Inc. property.
