Bluster Regatta

2027 “Bluster” Regatta – Returns for its 6th successful year and thank all those that came, making Bluster happen. Get ready, sailors – Bluster is making another triumphant return in 2027 looking forward to exceed our 42 boats! We're once again launching from scenic Ballard Park, just steps from the vibrant Eau Gallie Arts District (EGAD), racing just NE of the Eau Gallie Cswy in 6 foot deep water. Follow all channell unitl the ICW.

This high-energy multihull regatta is open to all classes ranging from 12 to 20 feet. The launch site features paved ramps as well as grassy and sandy beaches, making for an easy glide into the Eau Gallie River connecting to Indian River Lagoon. From there, it’s a relatively short 1-mile sail to the racecourse, located just NE of the 518 Causeway Bridge.Social

We plan to keep things fun on and off the water.
