EYC Regatta

Thursday, July 11 - Saturday, July 13, 2024 

Sodus Bay Yacht Club was proud to host the 2024 EYC Regatta. The Eastern Yachting Circuit (EYC) is an International association of yacht clubs on the eastern end of Lake Ontario.  The format for the regatta is three days of racing. Thursday is a long distance race of approximately thirty to thirty-five nautical miles. On Friday and Saturday course races or “around the buoys racing” are held. Trophies dating back to the 1920’s are presented in each division for both the long distance race and course racing as well as Overall trophies for the distance race, Course racing and combined events. The regatta features PHRF – Lake Ontario Handicapped racing, One- Design Divisions and White Sails division. The EYC regatta has established a great camaraderie between clubs and racing teams with many skippers and crews participating for twenty to forty plus  years. Moving from club to club allows sailors to visit all the member clubs in a short span of time.

EYC 2024 Highlights

The band Shameless Henry provided the tunes for all of us to enjoy and dance along to. It was the perfect evening under a clear sky to dance and socialize! It was awesome to see our very own Erik Will on Keyboard and vocals! The races were all held on the lake and although the winds were light early on in the competition, the last day of racing had much stronger breezes.
