Club Racing

Our very popular, highly competitive Wednesday Night Race Series commences May 19th with four classes, A, B C and D. The year is divided into a spring, summer, and fall series. Each series is comprised of 7 or more races with one drop each. Participation has exploded over the past few years with as many as 45 yachts taking part. Prizes are awarded and food is available at the clubhouse each week.

Monday Night White Sail Fun Racing is a new series commencing May 30th to provide an opportunity for new sailors and those without a lot of crew to participate and learn the ropes and the rules in a relaxed environment.
