GRSA to Host 2026 Flying Scot Women’s
North American Championship!
GRSA is proud to announce that we have been selected to host the 2026 Flying Scot Women’s North American Championship (FS Women’s NACs)! This prestigious event will take place May 29-31, 2026, and will bring talented women sailors from across the country to compete on Swift Creek.
After submitting an application last year, GRSA received official approval from the Flying Scot Sailing Association (FSSA) to serve as the host club. This is an incredible opportunity to showcase our community, our beautiful venue, and our ability to organize top-tier regattas. The Women’s NACs typically attract between 14-24 boats, making it an exciting and competitive event for both participants and spectators.
Volunteers Needed!
A regatta of this caliber requires strong volunteer support, and we need your help to make this event a success! Kaitlyn Reilly and Kate Gomes will be Co-Chairing the event, but we are looking for dedicated volunteers to step up as committee chairs in the immediate future. Whether you have experience in race management, hospitality, promotions/publicity, or just want to lend a hand, there’s a role for everyone!
Professional Support & Race Management
To ensure a top notch event, we have secured a US Sailing Chief Judge and Principal Race Officer to oversee race management. We will also have support from the FSSA, ensuring the highest level of competition and fairness on the racecourse.
