April 6, 2018 — WorldFest Regatta April 29 at HYC
A unique event is coming to HYC in April! This year is the City of Houston’s 51st annual WorldFest event – our own international film festival. The Chairman (and founder) of the event is HYC member Hunter Todd. Hunter and his charming wife Kathy are masters of the sailboat Valkyrie docked on Pier 11; we generally see Hunter and Kathy out double-handing most Sunday afternoons in the warmer months. What is unique about WorldFest is that it is the ONLY international film festival which has an eponymous regatta as a feature of the event. NO OTHER YACHT CLUB IN THE WORLD has an event like this – and our members are invited to participate! Every year the festival throws the closing party at HYC and provides frosty cold beverages and barbecue, a terrific mariachi band, and the famous Texas Longhorn Steers as photo op’s for the kids. Additionally we have visitors representing the Rodeo Clown association and a unique group of historic figure method actors headed by HYC member Susan Williams! The film industry glitterati from foreign countries (many from China) find the method actors fascinating… especially Pancho Villa as he brandishes his (real working replica) 19th century… guns… For information on how to participate in the WorldFest Regatta, please click
