The Gibsons Regatta 2023

The 2023 Regatta occurred over the weekend of July 22/23 with three races over the two days - a long around the Islands race on Saturday and two short in-harbour races on Sunday.

​

The Gibsons Regatta was a regular event on the Sea Cavalcade weekend. After a hiatus of a number of years the club revived it, having its first regatta on Saturday July 27th. 2019. The historic Howe Sound cup (which in past days was awarded to the overall winner of three local regattas: Bowen Island, Gibsons, and Squamish) was taken out of retirement and will henceforth be awarded to the Gibsons Regatta winner.

​

The regatta is open to anyone; free to SCYC and GYC members and $25 for others. First timers and those who rarely race are very welcome.
