⛵ Whistler Regatta to host the 2026 BC Optimist Championships

We’re excited to share that the 2026 Whistler Regatta will also serve as the BC Optimist Championships this year. Hosting the provincial Optimist fleet on Alta Lake is a special opportunity, and we’re thrilled to welcome young sailors from across British Columbia to Whistler.

Please note that the Whistler Regatta will take place earlier than usual this year, running on July 18–19, 2026. The earlier date allows us to accommodate the BC Optimist Championships. 

More details about registration, logistics, and event schedules will be shared closer to the event. We look forward to an exciting weekend of racing and to showcasing Alta Lake as a championship venue.Stay tuned for updates and event details at whistlersailing.com/whistler-regatta
