Britannia Yacht Club's National Capital Regatta

Britannia Yacht Club's National Capital Regatta The National Capital Regatta is an annual event held at the Britannia Yacht Club in Ottawa, Ontario. (2005 came close with 225 boats). Welcome to all!

Come and enjoy Ottawa’s primer dinghy and sailboard regatta on the Ottawa River. A BRIEF HISTORY

The first National Capital Regatta was held on July 26 and 27, 1957. Therefore, this event has been taking place annually for more than half a century. There have been many years when 15 or more classes competed. These classes have included everything from sailboards to large keelboats, i.e. Lasers (a

ll kinds), Y-Flyers, 14’ Internationals, 5o5s, Bytes, Lightnings, 420s, Cygnus, Albacores, Catamarans in various sizes, Sharks, Kirby 25s, etc. The record for the maximum number of entries was set in 1975, when 231 boats competed in the N.C.R. The record for the largest fleet of any one class is held by the Lasers, with 106 entries one year (there were 101 in 1998). There have been competitors from the east and west coasts of Canada and everywhere in between, also New Zealand, Australia, Great Britain, Germany, Bermuda, Greece, and all over the United States. The aim of this Regatta is to bring together the novice sailor and the well-seasoned racer in an atmosphere of friendly competition and camaraderie. During most Regattas there are three separate courses, with the possibility of as many as six classes on each course. For several years, in order to attract more youth and team sailors, we moved this Regatta from July to August to the weekend preceding the CORK Youth Festival that started on the Monday. In the last few years the Youth Festival has started on the Sunday and this has affected our number. This year we have returned the event to July and it will be held on the July 16/17 weekend. The Britannia Yacht Club’s National Capital Regatta is considered by many to be one of the best multi-class regattas in Canada. We wish all competitors good sailing, keen competition, good sportsmanship, friendly hospitality and happy fellowship. Bienvenue à tous!
