2025 WVYC Pumpkin Bowl (ILCA)

Pumpkin Bowl Regatta is one of two premier annual racing events hosted by the West Vancouver Yacht Club (WVYC). Since 1999, this event has drawn sailors from across BC, Alberta and the Pacific Northwest, including Washington and Idaho. With over 165 boats and 200 competitors (aged 7 to 20+), sailors compete in more than 50 dinghy and double-handed races, run over four courses. It's an excellent racing experience for dinghy sailors, and supported by over 130 engaged volunteers known for the friendliness, community spirit and commitment.

The regatta is hosted over two weekends to provide the optimal racing experience for all fleets. The Optis will run the weekend of October 18-19 with both a Green fleet for newer Opti sailors and a great Championship fleet. The ILCAs and Double-Handed (Fevas, 420s, 29ers, FJs) will race the following weekend, October 25-26. This even gives sailors the opportunity to race both weekends in different boats.
