Ford Yacht Club will be the host of the 2025 S2 7.9 Class Championship Regatta!


Ford Yacht Club is excited to be the host for the second time of this international championship regatta. We have long been the home to many S2 7.9 racers and cruisers. There is an active fleet on Wednesday nights with 6 S2 7.9s regularly showing up to race.

We are planning on making sure we have fun filled days of great racing and other activities to share on the beautiful island of Grosse Ile.  

(If you are not from around here, google Grosse Ile... it is a really cool island with lots of history and an adventure to come see!)

Ford Yacht Club s facilities are great with 174 acres of land there is plenty of room for some visitors.
