At Vallarta Yacht Club, we are very busy getting ready for WesMex and are looking forward to seeing you all here.  Beginning with its inaugural event in February 2006, the WesMex Regatta has earned the reputation of the premier small boat regatta of Banderas Bay.  It is one of the most important youth sailing events of the year in all of Mexico and is one of two “Signature Regattas” of the Vallarta Yacht Club. Of course, Banderas Bay Regatta is the other Signature Event but that will be another story.  

The International WesMex Regatta is hosted by Vallarta Yacht Club and sanctioned by the Mexico Sailing Federation, the Mexico Optimist Class Association (AMVCO), the ILCA Mexico Class Association and the iQFoil Class.  The great conditions and convenient venue as well as our welcoming club members and staff, make WesMex everyone's favorite event in Mexico.   For 2023, this one design regatta is a qualifier for young sailors from all over Mexico to advance to the 2023 Optimist North Americans, the 2023 Optimist World Championship, and ILCA Youth World Championships,  

If you are interested in a front row seat for the event, let us know. Volunteering is a great way to meet members, make new friends and get involved in one of the most rewarding events of the year.
