Great Bay Yacht Club of Dover, NH in conjunction with the Piscataqua Sailing Association, is pleased to announce the annual Fall Laser Regatta will be held on Sunday, October 2, 2022 at Hilton State Park, Dover, NH. Over the years, GBYC has been working with local sailors to keep the spirit of sailing alive in the Great Bay area.
Club History: In the spring of 1954, a group of sailors gathered with a simple purpose: “to organize and provide rules for racing this summer on Great Bay, or other places designated.” Races were held each Sunday afternoon at the State Pier and included class racing for 12 foot catboats — Merry Macs designed by club member Ned McIntosh — and other boats by handicap. By 1958, Great Bay Yacht Club was officially registered with the State of New Hampshire as a non-profit organization whose purpose was “to foster the spirit of sailing in the community around the Great Bay area.”
On June 24, 2023, GBYC, in conjunction with Dover400, will celebrate its 65th anniversary with a gala event and historic Merry Mac Regatta.
