2024 HHSA Women's Regatta
Saturday, July 13, 2024
Herring Bay, Maryland

Women skippers and crew!  It's on again!  Start planning for the 2024 HHSA Women's Regatta.  Due to the overwhelming number of our sailors who are participating in either the Annapolis to Bermuda or Newport to Bermuda races this year we have moved the regatta from June to July.  We can't wait to see you in Herring Bay.

The regatta is one of the only events on the Chesapeake Bay that is for just women sailors.  It's a wonderful one day, three race regatta with all women skippers and crew.  Get your team together, get registered and we will see you out there.

This event is for experienced and novice racers.  Our mission is that everyone steps up and does something they haven't done before.  Maybe you've raced but never skippered, maybe you're a cruiser and haven't raced.  This day is for all of you!

This space is the hub for all information about the event as well as regatta prep events.  Need some crew? Email us!  Want some more information? Email us!  In the meantime, get out and find all your great women sailing friends and get your team together.

Any questions please email womenunderway@hhsa.org
