Would you like to be a sailor for a day? The 63rd Annual Dauphin Island Race, hosted by Mobile Yacht Club and presented by Michelob Ultra, will be held on Saturday, April 29. The MYC Race Committee is inviting you to climb aboard.
On Race Day, our media power boat will leave the Mobile Yacht Club around 9 am headed for the starting mark halfway between Mobile's eastern and western shores. When the race begins at 9:30 am, you will be perfectly positioned to capture the elegance and excitement of performance sailboat racing on beautiful Mobile Bay.
Dozens and dozens of colorful sails straining atop sleek sailing vessels jockeying for wind should produce stunning images your audience will enjoy. When the sailboats begin to spread out across the course and the photography session winds down, our power boat will ferry you back to the Mobile Yacht Club.
Like the race itself, the media trip is weather dependent, and a reservation is required. If you would like to sail away with us, email MYC Race Committee member Susan Nelson Pickard, APR at snpickard@gmail.com to reserve your spot. Details will be forthcoming closer to Race Day. Until then, we wish you “fair winds and following seas!”
