New York's Sixth Annual Gay Pride Regatta

As organizers of the only gay and lesbian regatta in this country, we are proud to say that each year this regatta has been run we have been able to attract more sailors to the event, so thanks to all of the past organizers of this Regatta...we all owe a lot to each of you for your past efforts.

Once again, with the generous and enthusiastic support of Gilbert Baker, the Stonewall Sails Regatta is an official event of Heritage of Pride's Gay Pride Week! We felt that it was very important for KSA to become a greater part of Gay Pride Week and the organizers have responded with great enthusiasm for both Stonewall Sails and KSA's Parade of Sail. We hope each and every member of KSA can contribute in some way to help make each event a success.

There will be an Awards Ceremony and After Party at Newport Landing Marina. If you are unable to race in the Regatta, please join us for a great after race party!

You may have read the emails regarding the availability of slips for those of you wishing to arrive by boat. Some of us did this last year and it worked out very well. If we have enough boats, we can move the party to the marina later in the evening.

The regatta will be held on Friday June 27th marking the beginning of New York City's Pride Weekend. The regatta will again be held in conjunction with True North Sailing School, in Jersey City, NJ. The race course will be in the Upper Bay of New York Harbor, in view of the Statue of Liberty and Lower Manhattan.

We are planning a Race Clinic prior to the event, to be hosted at True North.

Full details of the race and how it will be organized are available in the Stonewall Sails 2008 Notice of Race.
