37th MANUEL FAGUNDES SEAWEED SOUP REGATTA

The GGYC has been running the winter series, known as the Manuel Fagundes Seaweed Soup Regatta, for 37 years. It was started by a past commodore and general manager whose name was Manuel Fagundes, hence the name. He used to make a beef soup at the club and the day pilots would stop by and partake of the soup on their way in or out of the Bay on a cold day. They called it seaweed soup after a while.

After the race the GGYC provides one of the best free buffets anywhere on the bay (thanks in part to Larry Ellison) Hot chowder is actually the soup de jour, and not seaweed soup, but we should all defiantly go up to the club afterwards for the party
