Where Will You Sail the Labor Day Weekend?

Wherever and however you’d like to sail over the Labor Day weekend, you have just a week to plan and get organized. To help you along, we’re linking our calendar of events, where you can find a range of sailing-related activities, whether racing or non-racing.

On Monday we shared news of several Labor Day weekend events, starting with the Jazz Cup on August 31, hosted by the South Beach and Benicia yacht clubs. And a reminder: If you want to save yourself $25, sign up before midnight, tonight!

If you like small-boat racing, Encinal YC will host the Millimeter Nationals on Saturday and Sunday, August 31–September 1.

San Francisco’s Cityfront will be alive with the 54th International Knarr Championship (IKC) which kicks off on Friday, August 30.

And there’s Humboldt YC’s Redwood Regatta on Big Lagoon on August 31–September 1. On Sunday, September 1, Inverness YC will run their long-distance Hog Island Race on Tomales Bay.

One event that we didn’t hear about earlier (there may be others) is Half Moon Bay’s “Beatle Mania” weekend. This weekend-long party draws sailors from near and far who cruise in for each day’s pre-planned dinner menu.

That’s a good-looking menu!
And with views to dine for, what a great place to celebrate the close of a great day on the water!

Plan ahead and order your meals here, then head on down to join the Labor Day weekend fun.

Of course, there’s much more sailing happening around the Bay and beyond, other than just on the Labor Day weekend. Check out our full sailing Calendar that covers August, September, and more.

Can you tell we’re excited for a three-day sailing weekend?
