September 13, 2025 pursuit race:
The Gosport Regatta is a destination pursuit race. Its history goes back to the Oceanic Cup that attracted 50 boats and included boats from England and of course the US at the Isle of Shoals. In 1874 the US sailing yacht, America, won the race and became the namesake for the world famous America's Cup. This year Gosport Regatta is a fundraiser for Piscataqua Sailing Association (PSA) to promote community, sailing and the New Hampshire Seacoast.
The Course: Yachts will start either by Government Mark '2KR' or Gunboat Shoals G1. The race will finish near the Government Mark '2KR'. Yachts will race around Government marks as well as around Appledore Island, Smuttynose Island, Cedar Island and Star Island depending on conditions.
