Pilot Regatta
June 20th & 21st, 2009
The 43rd Annual Pilot Regatta is PYC's season opener for local & regional sailors. The regatta is an open event which means anyone with a sailboat can participate.
The Pilot Race was started in the 1960s as a competitive event between Hinckley Pilots. It has expanded to attract more than 50 boats of all sizes and degrees of competitiveness. The two day event has competitors sailing courses around inner Casco Bay using government buoys and temporary drop buoys for turning marks. In 2007, there was a strong participation by one-design fleets; J/24s, Etchells, and J/105s, as well as PHRF racers, and PHRF cruisers.
The fun doesn't stop on the water. Saturday evening competitors, their family, guests and club members are invited to join together for live music, cocktails and a great meal. Come join the fun!
