JAM REGATTA
August 2-3, 2025
JAM is PMYC's annual Johnny Adams Memorial Youth Regatta which is also part of the NW Youth Racing Circuit summer series. Every August (1st or 2nd weekend depending on tides), approximately 175 youth sailors, their coaches, and parents come to PMYC for a weekend of well-run fleet races and warm hospitality.
Many say JAM is their favorite youth regatta and the ideal first Opti regatta for new racers! Highlights include 35+ club volunteers having a blast together helping on and off the water; our famous JAMmies (plaid PJ pants worn year-round); JAM playlist (song requests via online registration form); Opti green fleet for beginner racers in Hidden Cove; champ course in outer Pt. Madison for Optis, Lasers/ILCA 4/6/7, and C420s; morning JAMcakes Jr. fundraiser (new in 2024!); Saturday dinner tradition of home-baked potatoes, chili bar, salad, and ice cream cones; and fleece blanket awards in PMYC colors with club logo.
Please contact the JAM Coordinator at jam@portmadisonyc.org by mid-July if you'd like to help with housing, registration/scoring, clubhouse hosting, markset/safety boat, RC, green fleet, dock coordination and minor repair assistance, baked potato baking, posting our already-made signs, or parking (Friday late afternoon, Saturday morning, and Sunday afternoon).
Dock space for dinghies and in-water slips are needed for our many visitors, so please let the JAM Coordinator know if your space will/can be vacant. Thank you very much for your support and involvement!
