Time to skirt your party jibs and bear down on the Buccaneer for the 52nd Annual Dauphin Island Race Skipper’s Party. Festivities crank up at 6:30 with hometown favorites BUST rockin’ on the front lawn. Enjoy the view from the longest deck on Mobile Bay while you sip on your favorite beverages and swap tall tales of last year’s race with all of your friendly competitors. Hungry for some supper? Head downstairs for a big juicy southwestern style beef brisket sandwich, chips and cookies. Be sure to pick up your race packets and be right and ready for a Skipper’s Meeting with PRO Donnie Brennan around 8:00.
The famous Buccaneer Bar will be open upstairs; Sammy’s Tiki Bar open downstairs – with bushwhackers available in both locations. Pick up your DIR dollars for drink purchases at the Cashiers tables, along with tickets for T-shirts, the Skipper’s Party Dinner and Saturday’s Island Dinners. The Lighthouse Bakery and The Common Loon have joined forces this year to serve up fried grouper or chicken, lots of tasty sides and hot garlic bread and plan to serve at the trophy site this year.
Live music on Saturday at the island from NIGHT WORK starts late afternoon and rocks into the evening trophy presentation. Get your registrations in pronto: early registration ends at noon on Wednesday. Final registrations by 5pm Thursday.
Special thanks to EXXON/MOBIL for sponsoring this year’s race, along with support from SERIMAX INTL and the Press Register/Bay Weekend.
See y’all on Friday at the Buc to kick off a great Dauphin Island Race 2010 Weekend!!

The Mobile Yacht Club sponsors and participates annually in numerous regattas, which are described below. Those individuals interested in participating, or seeking participants, may post their name and contact information in the enclosed link, Available Crew. Notice of Race Events and race results from MYC sponsored events can be viewed below.
- Thursday Night Fun Races – These fun races are open to all sailors, casual (no spinnakers allowed) and there is no entrance fee. This is a great time for all people interested in sailing, amateurs and experienced sailors alike, to enjoy racing at a leisurely pace and watch beautiful sunsets on the bay. The race features a “Bermuda start”, which is a start based on the boat’s handicap rating and ensures exciting finishes since all boats (theoretically) should finish at the time time! The course is approximately six (6) miles around established channel markers. Races are held each Thursday beginning and ending with Daylight Savings Time. Weekly winners receive a prize, and at the end of the season the overall champion is announced. Thursday Night Fun Race Instructions & Course
- Senior Bowl Regatta - Sailing enthusiasts from throughout the Southeast gather each year to officially kickoff Senior Bowl Week festivities, and the start the sailing race season (the Senior Bowl Regatta serves as the first two races of the Mobile Yacht Club’s Winter Race). All participants receive T-shirts and jackets and the overall winners also receive tickets to the Senior Bowl football game. The Regatta winners also receive the Perpetual Senior Bowl Trophy, a grand silver wine cooler engraved with all of the past winners of the Food World Senior Bowl Regatta.
- Winter Series Races - The Gulf Yachting Association’s premier winter racing event kicks off with the Senior Bowl regatta above and is followed by two more weekends of racing. This Series offers some of the best competitive and challenging racing on Mobile Bay. The Series offers trophies for each race and an overall winning skipper in each fleet will have his or her name placed on the Perpetual Trophy.
- Great Circle Regatta - This fun race provides skippers with relief from onerous sailing instructions. They are: “After the start, sail around Gaillard Island – any direction you choose – then finish.”
- Norton Brooker Broken Triangle Race - This regatta was formerly known as the ADA Broken Triangle Race and is the Club’s premier charity fund raising event. In 2006 the regatta name was changed to honor past commodore, and GYA commodore, Norton Brooker. A silent auction is held the night before this regatta, which annually raises several thousands of dollars. Participate receive T-shirts marking this event.
- Round-the-Rig Regatta - This regatta, usually beginning at 4:30 p.m, is the only potentially overnight race on Mobile Bay. The course is simple, race from a start near MYC to around the Exxon Mobile Bay #63 Natural Gas Rig, near the tip of Dauphin Island, and back.
- MYC Anniversary Regatta – The Club’s premier regatta is held in honor of the founding of our Club.
- Dauphin Island Regatta - arguably the largest single day point to point sail race in the U.S.A., the Dauphin Island Regatta has endured since 1957 through the continuous support of the four Mobile Bay yacht clubs that rotate as host. Annually, hundreds of boats with over a thousand crew members participate in this weekend regatta which heralds the end of winter. The activities begin with a warm-up race held the Sunday before the regatta. Typically the actual race weekend begins the last weekend in April with the race starting in the middle of the bay and finishing at Dauphin Island. The Saturday evening features a party on the island highlighted by the race awards ceremony. A return race on Sunday concludes the regatta.
- Area D Quarter Finals - There are ten “Areas” in the United States. “Areas” have a representative on the Board of Directors of the United States Sailing Association and the same individual serves as a member of the Council of Sailing Associations, an important representative body within US Sailing. The Mobile Yacht Club is proud to Area D quarter finals, which represents more than 160 sailing organizations in the southeast and includes the following Associations:
- GYA – Gulf Yachting Association
- DIYRA – Dixie Inland Yacht Racing Association
- FSA – Florida Sailing Association
- SAYRA – South Atlantic Yacht Racing Association
- Summer (One Design ~ Capdevielle) Race
