To celebrate our good fortune to be in Mexico, enjoying the good life in the Paradise of white sands, warm blue water and swaying palm trees, we will enjoy an evening of delicious Mexican food at the Vallarta Yacht Club with a Buffet Mexicano. Live music will be there for your listening pleasure. This event will be open to everyone, even those who are not participants in the Regatta.
This is the only chance for spectators on shore to see the BBR competitors up close before they head out to the Bay to begin racing with their boats and crew. Each boat will pass before a reviewing stand where an announcer will introduce each boat and crew, adding colorful commentary about the skipper and crew, as well as interesting history of the boat. Boats will line up in the vecinity of the Paradise Village Marina and will pass single file past the reviewing stand on the way out to the Bay. We are not asking skippers to decorate their boats this year, but all BBR participants are encouraged to join the parade.
Join your fellow racers after the ravenous and thirsty practice day racers for hamburgers or hot dogs (or chicken or fish sandwiches), along with beer or a mojito, at the VYC clubhouse. This will be open to everyone, and will include live music from Piratas Verdes !
Live music and seafood! What could be better? If you happen to have caught any fish during the event, be sure to bring them so that our kitchen staff can do their magic and turn them into fish tacos. As with other nights, this will be open to anyone, and will be accompanied by the music of the The Expirals. See you there!
We don't want it to be over! Receive your trophies for the winning (and losing) boats. You don't want to miss this one! Dance the night away to the music of Gypsy Rumba. Open to everyone.
