DIYC Will Welcome Star North Americans to Tampa, Florida in October 2026

On behalf of the Officers, Board of Directors, a members of Davis Island Yacht Club, I am thrilled to welcome you to the Star Class North American Championship. We are excited about the opportunity to welcome the world's top Star class sailors to our club, located in beautiful Tampa, Florida.

DIYC is widely recognized as a premier sailing venue, with a longstanding tradition of hosting top-tier regattas. Our location offers easy access for international travelers, with Tampa International Airport just minutes away and Orlando's international hub a short drive to the north. Tampa Bay provides an ideal racing environment, and October offers sailors outstanding conditions - typically featuring steady breezes ranging from 10-18 knots, warm temperatres in the mid-70s (24-26 C), and mild, predicatable weather patterns. While occasional cold fronts may bring a brief wind shift, they tend to stabilize quickly, offering excellent and exciting racing conditions.
