The Downtown Sailing Center's annual Ya Gotta Regatta supports our accessible and community based programs. This year’s event will feature four exciting fleets: an adaptive Sonar fleet, a one-design J/22 fleet (with spinnakers), a Hansa fleet, and a PHRF pursuit race.
Use this page to register for the J/22, Hansa, and PHRF fleets.
Hansa sailors: If you're a member of the Hansa Race Team or are interested in racing in the Hansa fleet, please contact info@downtownsailing.org to request your registration code.
Adaptive sailors: To register for the adaptive Sonar fleet, please email Margo Nicolson, Director of Impact and Development, at adaptive@downtownsailing.org.
In addition to registering your team for the race here, all teams are expected to set up a fundraising team. The suggested fundraising goal is $100 per foot minimum (or $2200 for each J/22) . See the YGR Fundraising Page for details and to Create a Team.

Stick around for dinner, awards, cash bar, and a chance to celebrate with racers, volunteers, families, and the rest of the DSC community! We recommend purchasing dinner tickets in advance.

Eligibility
Priority for use of DSC boats will be given to DSC Skipper members, but non-members may be eligible to register if space allows. Non-members who are interested in using a DSC J/22 and participating in our One Design/J22 Class will need to successfully pass a DSC Skipper Checkout prior to the event, and complete all required paperwork. If you are not a DSC Skipper Level Member, email ygr@downtownsailing.org for information about registering.
DSC Boats will be randomly assigned at registration on the day of the event.
