Our upcoming MerryMac Regatta will be held on Saturday, August 12, 2017 at Hilton State Park, Dover, NH. Over the years, GBYC has been working with local sailors to keep the spirit of the historic sailboat alive in the Great Bay area. Previous regattas have been held with much success. The regatta is also open to Oyster River Cats.
