Helly Hansen Sailing 2023 World Regatta Series

The Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta Series took place February 17th - 19th. Three epic days of sailing! Nearly 275 teams from over 14 different classes of boats, all racing on five courses throughout Tampa Bay. Competitive racing and fun social activities were the themes of the weekend. Friday morning started off with a light south eastly, building throughout the day. Perfect way to kickstart an amazing weekend of racing across all the courses!

Chilly temperatures and a beautiful breeze greeted sailors Saturday morning; the small craft advisory did not deter the fleets from hitting the racecourses. Four additional races were completed on most courses throughout the day: for a total of eight races throughout the weekend. Tight racing amongst the fleets made for exciting finishes.

Sunday’s forecast called for a lot of sunshine and light winds. No additional races were completed. Eight races were completed over the weekend. This event would not have been possible without our amazing team of member volunteers and our staff. THANK YOU!
