Welcome to the Bullseye Sailing Association!
2022 National Regatta - August 19-21, 2022
The Fishers Island Yacht Club is looking forward to hosting the 2022 Bullseye Nationals the weekend of August 19-21, 2022. We hope to welcome back sailors who joined us last in 2014, and also to greet first-time visitors to our beautiful island.
Island hosts will offer accommodations to visiting sailors and those accompanying them, and we have three loaner boats available on a first-come first-served basis. From the opening reception and dinner on Friday night to the closing luncheon on Sunday, we will make every effort to ensure our guests enjoy the best of island hospitality.

The purpose of the Association shall be:

- To encourage participation by owners of fiberglass Bullseyes in racing.
The following pages describe the Cape Cod Shipbuilding Bullseye one-design sailboat, its Herreshoff design heritage, and the group of owners known as the Bullseye Sailing Association. Also included are the complete Constitution, the Technical Specifications A-D, the Technical Specifications E Sails and Regattas Rules of the Bullseye Sailing Association, the results of past National Regattas, some helpful hints for the care and feeding of Bullseyes, listings of sailmakers, trailer manufacturers, a photo gallery of Bullseyes under sail and more.
The Bullseye Sailing Association
Fleets located all along the East Coast keep in touch through the Bullseye Newsletter, which is packed with sailing tips, stories, regatta information, and results. We have members all over the country, but the chartered fleets race out of Key Largo FL, Fishers Island NY, Saunderstown RI, Marion and Rockport MA, and Southwest Harbor ME. Everyone comes together for the Bullseye National Regatta. The location of the regatta rotates, which allows for a change of scenery. Come join the fun, and , if you have an active fleet, consider becoming a chartered fleet.
The Constitution and Rules have been changed so that "Bullseye Sailing Association" replaces every occurrence of "Bullseye Class Association", and "BSA" replaces every occurrence of "BCA".
