2026 HHSA Women's Regatta




2026 HHSA Women's Regatta
Saturday, July 11, 2026
Herring Bay, Maryland


 The regatta is one of the only events on the Chesapeake Bay that is for just women sailors.  It's a wonderful one day, three race regatta with all women skippers and crew.  Get your team together, get registered and we will see you out there.

This event is for experienced and novice racers.  Our mission is that everyone steps up and does something they haven't done before.  Maybe you've raced but never skippered, maybe you're a cruiser and haven't raced.  This day is for all of you!  To build the next generation of sailors, this year we encourage all boats to bring a junior sailor (7-18) onboard.

This space is the hub for all information about the event as well as regatta prep events.  Need some crew? Email us!  Want some more information? Email us!  In the meantime, get out and find all your great women sailing friends and get your team together.

Any questions please email womenunderway@hhsa.org
