NOTICE FROM EVENT COMMITEE

"2021 Greenport Regatta Postponed"

We regret informing all that we are postponing this event and looking for new committee members to help re-organize and continue this awesome event.
Covid19 has made the restart difficult and more hands are needed to plan and run a yeomen's class event. Please contact us if you wish to be a part of the relaunch.

Due to Covid 19, we have cancelled this year's Greenport Regatta. Let's all hope for a better, healthier 2021. The race next year will be Satuday, October 9th (Columbus Day weekend).

I know many of you are planning what is left of your sailing season. Regattas have been cancelled or postponed and nothing seems certain. While I am not sure what form our race will take, I will guarantee that, at the very least, THERE WILL BE A RACE OUT TO BLOCK for the Brooklyn Ocean Challenge Cup on October 10th. We may or may not have a party, we may or may not have a bay race, we may have greatly reduced entry fees if we are not hosting parties. I'll keep you informed. Stay safe and healthy. See you October 10th.

Greenport Regatta is on! Saturday, October 10th. Bigger and better this year. Ocean Race starts at 8am with the max ebb tide at Hay Beach Point at 8:16. Should be a fast race to Block. New this year, the start and finish will be right off Claudio's Crabby Jerry's dock, with some Mimosas and Bloody Mary's for the spectators. Much more news to come. Put it on your calendar.

An illness in the family prevents me from devoting the time necessary to run this regatta this year. After discussion with the committee, we have decided to CANCEL the 2019 Greenport Regatta. We will see you again October 10th, 2020. The committee will use the extra time to make the event even bigger and better. Thank you for your understanding.

This is one of the reasons why Greenport is a destination:

Seafood-inspired small plates, elevated dining experiences, gastropubs and specialty coffee shops and cuisine found their way east, shifting Greenport into a full-fledged dining destination.
