The Rochester Yacht Club's J24 Fleet 41 is excited to welcome you to the 2026
J24 Lambert Lai Memorial Regatta. Please join us for some great sailing and on land socializing! The fun begins Friday, August 21 when teams arrive to our East Basin for boat rigging and launching. Drinks and snacks will be plentiful as you put your boats together in the warm summer sun. Afterwards, we would like to do an informal "meet and greet" at the RYC bar at 6:30 pm with bar/dinner menus available for teams that want to take advantage of our wonderful deck venue.
On Saturday morning, we'll have coffee and continental breakfast treats waiting for you prior to our 9:00 am skippers meeting, and then after racing, we'll have a little dock talk followed by music, beer (or service at the bar), and a BBQ dinner by our wonderful chef, Jake for all the hungry sailors. Hope to see you there!
