International Banderas Bay Regatta

Another one in the books! Thanks to everyone who participated, and everyone who volunteered to make this one of the best BBRs ever!

Unfortunately, we didn't have an event photographer. If anyone has photos of the event they would like to share, I'd be grateful if you posted them here.

I can't wait until next year!

BBR 2023 is a wrap ... :-)

Due to the overwhelming numbers of IQ foils, adding another foiling class to meet the demand for easy to sail fun water craft make perfect sense. In the 1980's there were over 1 MILLION windsurfers in the USA alone. I am so happy to see the new technology and extreme extremism is growing the sport!

BBR # # # is less than two weeks away! How creative can you get with a BBR # # # theme for the boat parade? We're looking forward to seeing new faces as well as old friends! We're planning some fun at VYC every night, including a Cheeseburgers in Paradise night, Live Music or a DJ Wednesday through Friday and a beach party for the Awards Party on Saturday.

Thanks to everyone that has signed up so far. If you are still just thinking about it, or know someone that is, take the chance, register and sail the event. It is always fun and sailing in Banderas Bay is and experience that can't be duplicated anywhere else in the world!

Cheers,

Pursuit Races are great fun. Should we include one in BBR # # #?

Don't overthink your format >> Scuttlebutt Sailing News There's a lot of education and effort to provide perfect races, and while events often promote their perfection to attract participation, what people want

Pirates are welcome to sail in the BBR too!

Talk Like a Pirate Day Brush up your sea-farin’ vocab and talk like a pirate for a day. Ahoy, yo-ho-ho, and avast ye matey! To port! To starboard! Bring a spring up on ‘er! Whatever that means.

We race real boats in BBR. We have been for 29 years. 2023 will make 30 years of 'racing your house' cruising/racing fun in Banderas Bay.

Extreme approach will not revive sailing >> Scuttlebutt Sailing News At Scuttlebutt HQ, we consistently cringe at the claim that 'foiling is the future' as we know the expense, complexity, and skill required is not how to

To celebrate BBR # # # how about a new Classic One Design Class?
