Barefoot Sailing Club invites you to race in the Around Alone, our premier solo regatta and a long, time–honored tradition on Lake Lanier. Come on out with the rest of the hardy single-handers on a race from the Chattahoochee Bay area of the Lake, to Buford Dam and back!
The perpetual trophy is a Barefoot burgee autographed by Robin Davie (1998/99). British sailor Davie has completed three solo circumnavigations and will be making his fourth next year in the Golden Globe Race 2022. Thanks, Past Commodore Tom Graham for acquiring this prized autograph.
