About the Regatta
Atlantic Canada’s premier keelboat event — Chester Race Week is the largest annual 4‑day keelboat regatta in North America, staged by the Chester Yacht Club since 1856. With over 130 yachts and hundreds of sailors and spectators, it’s one of the East Coast’s most iconic sailing gathering.
Deep maritime legacy — Rooted in mid‑19th‑century fishermen’s races, the regatta evolved from local community draws to Canada’s top keelboat spectacle downtown.
