On the Water

Fort Worth Boat Club is a very active racing club and hosts numerous local regattas as well as world, national and class championships.

The club conducts regattas for several one-design classes, J/22, J/24, J/70, J/80, J/105, Laser, Optimist Dinghy, and Viper boats. These events frequently attract competitors from the entire state of Texas as well as FWBC members and members of other local yacht clubs.

Each year the club presents several courses and seminars on racing tactics, sail trim, boat handling and other aspects of racing. These programs are geared to a wide range of experience, from novice to advanced.

The club is nationally known for exceptionally well-run events and has been awarded the St. Petersburg Yacht Club Trophy for excellence. The club has an ongoing program for training and certification of race officers. Supporting equipment includes one club owned race committee boat.

In addition to our larger events, we host a Wednesday Night Racing Series and a Weekend Racing Series that offer opportunities for friendly competition.

We also offer family friendly regattas each year such as our Santa Claus Race, Turkey Trot Regatta, and Easter Egg Hunt Regatta.

As an integrated part of our community our club also offers Youth Sailing Programs and Summer Camps, Adult Sailing Programs, High School Sailing Programs as well as our TCU Sailing Programs.
