We always thought the boating and sailing community needed a better events calendar to help the public know about the extraordinary number and variety of on-the-water and nautical events in Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, Victoria, and all the boaty harbors in between. This calendar is our solution, and we hope you find it fills that need. From sailboat races to swap meets, rendezvous to rallies, seminars to seafood fests, we look forward to seeing you out there!
Due to COVID-19, some events may have been cancelled or postponed. Please double check with event organizers before attending.

Boxing Day Race
December 26, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Introducing a brand new Sloop Tavern Yacht Club race on Boxing Day! Many members of our sailing community take advantage of the sometimes extended holiday break to get out on the water for good times with great friends, and STYC is semi-formalizing the occasion in 2023 with a casual, take your time on the honor system race. Watch the start of the Sydney Hobart on December 25, then come out for the STYC version of a Boxing Day race on the 26th! 100% less press coverage, same amount of fun.
First warning is at a civilized 12:55. There will be no committee boat and no formal awards, but bragging rights and exchanging stories at a favorite Ballard bar are always encouraged. Course will be announced on race page and over VHF per the the timing stated in the NOR. Come one, come all and have some fun.
