One Design
Hampton Yacht Club is an incredible place for One Design sailing. The club is home to a large Viper 640 fleet, 505, Laser, J24, Sonar, and many more. The Hampton One Design Class has been active at the club since 1934. The HOD was chosen by a committee at HYC specifically for sailing in the southern Chesapeake Bay.
HYC offers several annual One Design regattas including the Spring and Fall Fling One Design Regattas, Southern Bay Race Week in June, and the Annual Regatta in July. Over the years, the club has hosted many Atlantic Coast and National Championships and will host its first World Championship for the J111 Class in October of 2021.
