(Details about the 2026 Bay Race fleet will be available at a later date.)
The Fleet

The fleet—like the sailors and organizations that participate and the weather they encounter—varies from year to year. What they will all share, however, is the unforgettable experience of friendly competition between vessels from another age, the conditions Mother Nature provides, the Bay’s timeless beauty and the pleasure of trading stories at the after-race celebration. For details about the various race classes please see Race Classes. If you are planning to enter the race, please see For Participating Vessels.
