Information & Registration Form

The registration deadline is May 1st. Entry fee for all yachts is $110.00 if paid on or before May 1st. Vessels who pay after May 1st may be subject to a five minute penalty. You can register and pay online by clicking the button below, or by downloading the registration form and mailing it in per the instructions included.
SPONSOR LUNCHEON
The Regatta Sponsor Luncheon is held at the historic St. Francis Yacht Club on the Francisco waterfront, on Friday, May 17th. The event honors our Sponsors, with presentations of their house flags to the skippers of the yacht that will fly them. The perpetual trophies will be on display. We will present Race Packets with handicaps, race rules, start times, and your 2024 MMBA Regatta Burgee.
REGATTA AND PARTY
The Regatta starts in front of the St. Francis on the following Saturday, May 25th. The post-race party will be held at the Encinal Yacht Club in Alameda.
HANDICAPPING
Yachts will be rated using the MMBA handicapping system.
PARADE CLASS
There will be a Parade Class this year as an alternative to the traditional classes (Marconi, Gaff, Ocean, Bear, etc.). This class will be open to all MMBA boat members regardless of boat size or rig. The purpose of the Parade Class is to offer MMBA members who are reluctant to race but interested in participating in the tradition of the Regatta the opportunity to do so. The course will be shorter, start AFTER the last competitive class, and will sail on the west side of Treasure Island so that they are clear of the racers finishing on the east side. The entry fee to the Parade Class will be the same as all other classes and include one ticket to the Sponsor’s luncheon at the St. Francis YC. The Parade Class participants will also receive an MMBA burgee with the year of participation, and are encouraged to attend the post-regatta party at the Encinal YC.
BERTHING & DINNER RSVP
Please plan to bring your boat to the Encinal Yacht Club (EYC) after the Race for the post-race party and dinner. More info on overnight berthing and dinner reservations will be posted closer to the date.
We encourage you to stay until Sunday and enjoy the Encinal Yacht Club and Alameda estuary.
REGISTRATION & MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED FOR PARTICIPATION
For insurance reasons, ALL boats in ALL classes are required to be active MMBA Members and to register for the regatta, in order to participate in the regatta and post-regatta festivities.
