The 25th annual New Bedford Yacht Club Junior Regatta will be held on July 6 and 7 this year, with trailers welcomed starting on Friday, July 5.

This year’s regatta will be a Sailors for the Sea clean event, minimizing the environmental impact on our shores and seas by providing extra recycling bins and reducing reliance on plastic bottles, cups and packaging.

Regatta organizers ask participating sailors — and coaches and parents — to bring their own reusable water bottles, properly sort all trash and recycling, clean boats using water only, and reducing carbon footprints by walking, bicycling, or carpooling to the club each day.

NBYC will also be holding a party Saturday, June 6 for regatta sailors and all yacht club youth members. Dinner and live music by teen sibling band Morrissey Blvd will be provided starting at 5:30 p.m. and music at 6 p.m.

The dinner is included in the regatta registration fee. For non-regatta participants, cookout fare is $8 for kids and $12 for adults. No reservations needed.

Those who wish to participate can register online at nbyc.com/racing/nbjr.
