Last Chance Regatta

History

This race was started in 2024 as a way to celebrate the end of the racing season in a way similar to how the Shipwrights Regatta kicks off sailing in the late winter.

Trophies

Port Townsend Sailing Association presents the First Annual Last Chance Regatta; a race on Port Townsend Bay that’s exactly like Shipwright’s Regatta except different. Same weather. Same community vibe. Same race course. Same casual race format (first to finish wins).

Open to all racing, cruising, and inshore boats.
Awards and prizes in the works: different but just as fun.
Saturday, October 26th
Skipper’s meeting at 11:00am at the PTSA Clubhouse
Race start at 1:00pm
Beer and awards party at the PTSA Clubhouse afterwards
