Oceanside Yacht Club hosts annual regatta to benefit The Elizabeth Hospice

ESCONDIDO – The Oceanside Yacht Club will host its 16th annual Charity Regatta to benefit The Elizabeth Hospice Saturday, Aug. 4 and Sunday, Aug. 5, at the Oceanside Yacht Club, located at 1950 Harbor Drive North, in Oceanside.

Proceeds provide medical, emotional and spiritual support to people nearing the end of life’s journey and for those who are grieving.

Sailboats 25 ft. to 50 ft., staffed with sailors and crews, will compete for trophies while demonstrating their support for this local nonprofit organization that cares for children and adults with life-limiting illnesses.

The two-day event will include sailboat races starting at noon, and post-race parties with food, cocktails, live music, silent auction, raffle prizes and trophy presentation. The entry fee for the two-day regatta race is $50. The community can join the fun by boarding a luxury powerboat with a $100 donation to The Elizabeth Hospice. Everyone is welcome to attend the post-race festivities, free-of -charge, beginning 3 p.m., Saturday and 2 p.m., Sunday.
