Start Planning Now for the 2025 Harvest Moon Regatta®
Don’t wait—get your boat and crew ready today.
The 2025 Harvest Moon Regatta® may still seem far off, but the time to start preparing is now. Whether you’re a returning racer or new to the event, early planning helps ensure a smooth, safe, and successful race from Galveston to Port Aransas this October.
Check Your Boat, Then Check It Again
Spring and early summer are ideal for assessing your boat’s condition. Perform a full inspection, schedule any needed maintenance, and order parts while you still have time. Waiting until the last minute can mean delays, especially when marine services get busy closer to race season.
Secure Your Crew Early
The best races happen with the right crew. Start connecting with your team now to confirm availability, review responsibilities, and plan training sails. Early coordination also ensures that at least two crew members are able to attend HMR Safety Day or have completed it within the past two years, which is required by the Notice of Race.
