Hawaii Yacht Racing Association

Our Mission Is to Promote Offshore Yacht Racing and Class Racing in Hawaii.

Hawaii Yacht Racing Association (HYRA) is the coordinating body for the majority of yacht racing events conducted in Hawaii. We coordinate Hawaii's yearly yacht racing calendar for all member clubs encompassing all adult, junior, women, and national events. HYRA is the parent organization of Hawaii Youth Sailing Association (HYSA).

General oversight of the organization and conduct of yacht racing is supported via race management and racing rules clinics, and through USSA certified judges.

All HYRA member yacht and sailing clubs are under the US Sailing Association (USSA) umbrella. This membership gives Hawaii clubs and their members access to USSA benefits, boat insurance and discounts. Through HYRA’s membership in USSA, Hawaii is recognized as regional “Area H.”
