During the warmer months of the year regattas are also open to dinghies and multihulls. GSC's largest racing event of the year is the annual Gold Rush Regatta. The Gold Rush brings in boats and competitors from all over Texas and neighboring states for great racing and lots of fun.
Special events vary year to year to keep things fresh.
These offbeat events include Valentine's Couples Races, Long Distance Races and Relay Races. Each Summer GSC offers a Sailing Seminar open to GSC members and the public. The seminar is composed of a mixture of classroom lectures and on the water instruction. The curriculum can be tailored to the goals of the individual student, whether they would like to learn the basics or pick up a few new racing tips.
