In 1969 the Key Biscayne Yacht Club hosted its first Annual Southeast Dinghy Championship. Created as one of the first US National Championships in the Optimist class, the event has hosted over 4,000 sailors and their families from across the nation and further afield. Sailors ranging from 7 to 18 years of age (and some adults) compete in Club 420s, Lasers and Optimist Dinghies. Racing is held on the beautiful Biscayne Bay where the racing conditions are optimal and the weather sublime which makes for an excellent spectator event too.

Thank You!

The 53rd Annual Southeast Dinghy Championship would not have been possible without the dedication, enthusiasm, and hard work of our incredible volunteers.
