Details
A three day event, this classic sail regatta known as a Turkey Shoot is set on the beautiful Rappahannock River. It was started by John McConnico 31 years ago and is now in its 27th year in support of hospice. This is one of the largest regattas in the southern bay and is the largest such regatta in the country. Our motto is Competition with Compassion. This is a major fundraiser for local hospice services including Hospice Support Services of the Northern Neck and Riverside Hospice Agencies. The event is co-hosted by the Rappahannock River Yacht Club and the Yankee Point Racing and Cruising Club.
