Columbia One-Level Offshore Racing Series

COLORS has been Chicago’s shake-the-sheets event since 1995. More than 80 boats race annually during the first weekend of June. The strong one-design presence of the Beneteau, J/Boat, Tartan-10 and other large fleets designates the event as a tune-up for the season.

In addition to a weekend of buoy racing, the regatta has a distance race on Saturday. The distance race is attracts the boats that are too large to go around the buoys as well as the more casual racers and even cruisers.

Racing is not the only factor that makes for a good regatta, though. The social side is equally as important, and Columbia is well-versed in having a good time. The regatta party takes place on Saturday with a Mexican buffet, live band, and, with the help of sponsors, free beer.
