Description
The winds of change are sweeping through Youngstown Yacht Club with a new take on their annual regatta.
The Youngstown Chase will take place on July 26-28, 2024 and replaces course racing with pursuit races, when faster boats chase down slower boats who started ahead of them.
The weekend schedule starts Friday with feeder races from Hamilton, Greater Toronto Area, and Olcott/Rochester. Check in and a kickoff party conclude the day. Saturday @11AM, an 8-12 mile pursuit race (3-4 hours) is followed by dinner and live music from Western New York’s high energy tropical rock band, Gimme Buffet (5-8PM). The Stone Jug and The Griffon will be hosting participants and visitors into the wee hours! The weekend wraps up Sunday with a shorter pursuit race @11AM and more live music, this time from local classic and modern rock band, Reflector (5-8PM).
Sponsorships are available and offer a unique opportunity for marketing exposure such as on-site branding and media promotion, in addition to entertainment benefits. For more information, contact Corey Gray at grayc1327@gmail.com
