Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2023, Louie’s Last Regatta has grown into one of the largest fundraising regattas in the Midwest and has raised more than $1.5 million for Children’s. The highly anticipated event has also become the bookend for the sailing season for sailors up and down Lake Michigan — from racers to daysailers to cruisers alike.

A huge part of the SSYC experience is our busy calendar of social events. The Entertainment Committee plans and hosts a variety of small and large events throughout the year.
If you are interested in sailing, and more specifically racing, there are ample opportunities to join one of our racing fleets, or to crew on one of the boats in those fleets. The women's fleet races on Mondays, small boats race on Tuesdays. Big boats race on Wednesdays and Saturdays. And the double handed fleet races on Fridays.
You can learn more about the various racing fleets by clicking here. And the racing schedule (for all fleets) is available here.
Power boats are an important part of the SSYC Fleet. Members own and operate many types of vessels including cruisers, antique boats, pontoons and motorized dinghies. If you have a boat with a motor, you will find yourself at home among our power fleet.
In addition, our power boaters host a number of events, usually on Thursdays as well as many weekends.
