East & Central Florida Race Calendar<br />
The northeast and east central Florida areas offer a more<br />
varied sailboat racing experience than any other in Florida.<br />
Buoy racing, distance racing and, increasingly, match racing<br />
are all formats for races held in this region.<br />
Active yacht clubs and sailing associations occur<br />
about every 20 miles along the coastal region. Regattas are<br />
held year round, from ocean-going yachts to dinghies and<br />
catamarans. The peak of the regatta season is the spring<br />
while mid to late summer is the “low season“ because of<br />
afternoon lightning storms and hurricane season.<br />
In northeast Florida, around Jacksonville, several<br />
notable ocean regattas occur each year. The focus in that<br />
area for small boat regattas is the St. Johns River and some<br />
of the larger lakes. The lower St. Johns has an active regatta<br />
schedule, too. From Daytona Beach south, both the Atlantic<br />
and the Indian River Lagoon offer rich regatta venues.<br />
Inland lake sailing is also popular in this region, the<br />
most notable being on Lake Eustis.<br />
From January through May, in this part of Florida, it is<br />
impossible to be more than 30 miles from a sailing event<br />
during any seven-day interval. For the rest of the year, the<br />
time interval is about two weeks, and the generalization<br />
