This family-oriented event is held each year at Shell Point Beach on the Gulf of Mexico in Southern Wakulla. Regatta proceeds aid the American Cancer Society (ACS) in memory of Stephen C. Smith, a local sailor who died from a rare form of leukemia at the age of twenty-nine. Featured at the event will be sailboat and windsurfing races, beautiful sights and beach activities for non-racers, a catered dinner Saturday night, and a closing auction on Sunday afternoon. Watching the races and playing on the beach is free, and food is available for purchase at the Regatta Grille during the day. To participate in races or the catered dinner, a registration package must be purchased.
