Great Pumpkin

The Great Pumpkin Regatta kicks off the fall sailing season on Sarasota Bay, hosted by the Sarasota Sailing Squadron. Serving as the first leg of the club's three-part Fall Trident series, the race welcomes one-design dinghy, multihull and Performance Handicap Racing Fleet (PHRF) competitors. The event is managed by the local Flying Scot fleet, who organize the courses and coordinate the starting sequences. From the clubhouse on Ken Thompson Parkway, spectators can watch the varied classes navigate the bay's shifting autumn winds.
