Rainbow regatta chicago

Is a casual sunset sailboat regatta that is governed by US Sailing rules and regulations and will follow PHRF ratings. It is open to all sailors and encourages those interested in sailing to join. It aims to be a fun evening on the water that builds friendships, and encourages diversity and equity in sailing.

This year, we are encouraging participants to donate to Rainbow Races to help further our vision of equality in sailing. Please check back often as this season is very fluid in its development.

This year, we are introducing Team Fundraising, awards for Best Dressed Crew, Best Dressed Boat, along with Pickle Boat awards and an award for the team that raises the most funds!

For dockage please contact the Jackson Park outer Harbor Master at (312)742.7673.

Participating vessels will need to be at 41°52.80 N, 87°34.46 W (Appx. 128° T, 0.9 NM from Chicago Harbor Light) for the start, warning sound will be at 7p. Please see race docs below for full description.
