OYC Regattas The Oswego Yacht Club has a long and proud history supporting competitive sailing on Lake Ontario. Beginning in the late 19th Century, OYC was one of the founding members of the Lake Yacht Racing Association. In recent times, OYC has has hosted numerous regattas at a local, regional, and national level. Sunfish, Lightning, Flying Scot, J/24, J/30, and Olsen 30 classes have competed in Oswego. For the past 20 years, PHRF racing has been a mainstay. The waters off Oswego offer a unique racing venue. Deep water and good breezes are just outside the harbor entrance. From the OYC deck and along Breitbeck park, spectators can watch the racing action. Few other clubs on the Lake afford both great sailing and great spectating. Currently, OYC hosts three invitational regattas. The Oswego County Hospice Regatta, sailed the first weekend in June supports Oswego County Hospice and is a qualifying regatta for the National Hospice Alliance Regatta. In its second year, the All J Regatta is sailed in early July. A unique concept, the regatta is open to J boats in various classes. In 2007 the regatta will be the venue for the j/24 Great Lakes Championship. 2007 marks the second time the GLC has been sailed at Oswego. OYC's premier event, Sail Oswego is held the last full weekend in July in conjunction with Oswego Harborfest. First sailed in 1988, Sail Oswego has grown to be one of the most popular regattas on eastern Lake Ontario. Great sailing and great parties during Oswego's most festive weekend makes for a must sail regatta. |
