Welcome to the 2026 GYA 420 Championship, hosted by Long Beach Yacht Club on September 19–20, 2026.

Junior sailors from across the Gulf Yachting Association will compete on the Mississippi Sound for the GYA 420 Championship Trophy. Racing will be conducted in Club 420s sailed without trapeze or spinnaker.

We look forward to welcoming GYA sailors, coaches, families, and supporters to Long Beach for a great weekend of championship racing and camaraderie on the Gulf Coast.

Good luck, sail fast, and have fun!
