Youth sailors set to race in wildwoods back bays for summer regatta

WILDWOOD CREST, NJ — Youth sailors from across southern and coastal New Jersey will compete June 26 in the Mid-Atlantic Yacht Racing Association’s South Jersey Summer Series Regatta at Sunset Lake in Wildwood Crest.

The event, hosted by the Greater Wildwood Yacht Club, will feature more than 100 young sailors between the ages of 9 and 18. Races are scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with spectators invited to watch from the park along Sunset Lake.

“The community is invited to come out and watch the competition which will be visible from the park along Sunset Lake,” event organizers stated.

The Mid-Atlantic Yacht Racing Association (MAYRA), a nonprofit organization, coordinates this regatta as part of its mission to promote and advance the sport of sailing in South Jersey and the surrounding region. The organization works to foster communication within the sailing community, provide educational opportunities, and help young sailors improve their racing and seamanship skills.
