Sock Burner 2025
Come join us at The Kingston Yacht Club in Kingston, ON for our inaugural “Sock Burner” to welcome the 2025 sailing season to the waters of Kingston Harbour! Enjoy a bonfire, fresh PEI Oysters, shanties and musical performances, local brews and drinks, and snacks in good company!
The festivities will kick-off with the sacrificial burning of a pair of socks at 2:30pm, before we head out into the harbour for the “Slow Poker” Sailing Rally - a sailing treasure hunt in Kingston Harbour where sailors will “race” to collect tickets for a prize draw! Check out our cool committee boats - The “Little Toot” & a Wooden Runabout from The Thousand Islands Boat Museum and a wooden 1956 Greavette Cadet operated by Tall Ship Expeditions - Brigantine!
Following the regatta, everyone is welcome to join us at Kingston Yacht Club for Fresh PEI Oysters from Whalesbone Ottawa, refreshments provided by KYC, and a bonfire, accompanied by nautical music, shanties, and games for sailors, and aspiring sailors of all ages!
