For 20 years, the Port Washington Yacht Club has hosted their annual Junior Sailor Regatta to bring young sailors to sea, some for the first time, while helping Make-A-Wish Metro New York grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.


This Make-A-Wish Regatta has operated with two goals at its center. The first is giving junior sailors the opportunity to get their sea legs. The second is to help them find perspective on how fortunate they are, and to instill the important lesson of giving back. 


Two decades later, The Port Washington Yacht Club continues to host their Regatta, a day of celebrating sailing, community, and charity. As the fleet of enthusiastic young sailors continues to grow each year, the nature of this competition has always remained true. The focus is on good sportsmanship, the chance to race, and raising funds to support children with critical illnesses in their community.
