Hosted by the San Diego Yacht Club in collaboration with Etchells Fleet 13, this prestigious series will challenge sailors on the Coronado Roads and serve as a lead-up to the 2025 North American Championship and the 2026 Worlds.

The 2025 event dates are as follows:

The Series will kick off with the Bill Bennett Cup in January and conclude with the Orca Bowl in April, featuring four regattas in total. The Midwinters West, the only three-day event, is required for Series scoring. This format, combined with San Diego's renowned racing conditions, promises another thrilling year of close competition.

Vince Brun, Chairman of the 2026 Etchells World Championship at SDYC, shares his enthusiasm. "San Diego's great weather, friendly hospitality, and outstanding racing conditions make it the perfect place for Etchells sailors. We're looking forward to the West Coast Spring Series as an exciting lead-up to the 2025 North American Championship and the 2026 Worlds. Our team is already hard at work to ensure the Worlds will be a memorable and rewarding event for everyone."

Each regatta will feature post-race debrief and socials, fostering camaraderie and offering invaluable insights from top sailors and coaches.

Don't miss the opportunity to experience world-class sailing at the 2025 Etchells West Coast Spring Series—a true celebration of skill, strategy, and sportsmanship.
