On Sunday, August 11th, the Santa Cruz Yacht Club will host its 27th annual Day on the Monterey Bay Regatta to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Santa Cruz County. Fun, sailing, food, and music —— it's all on deck at the Regatta!

The event will be held at the Santa Cruz Yacht Club's, dry dock area on the west side of the lower harbor in Santa Cruz (near Aldo's). Sailing takes place from 1-3:30pm, followed by a catered dinner. Live music by the always fun and lively Island Breeze will keep the party rolling. There will be two great raffles and a silent auction at the event. So much fun in one day!

There are many ways to join the fun. No boat? No worries!! You can enjoy watching the race as you sail on the Chardonnay II. Don't want to sail? Then please join us for dinner and share in the fun of the music, Silent Auction, and raffles. Call Mary at 831-464-8691 to order Chardonnay and/or dinner tickets.

Corporate Sponsorship Packages are available whether you register a boat or not. What is a race without the Skippers and Sailors to crew the boat? Participants can crew and take part in the fun too.

All skippers must fill out the Yacht Entry Form.

Choose how you would like to participate and then register. Two ways to register and/or order tickets:

• online at our Day on the Monterey Bay ticket website

The Day on the Monterey Bay Regatta is a fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Santa Cruz County who have served the children in our community for 37 years! 100% of all proceeds stay local and go to Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring services.

Looking for a way to get involved with the community?  This is a great opportunity to volunteer for a great cause.  If you would like to spend your day down by the bay, please contact us at 831-464-8691 and signup; we can always use your help.
