Racing Programs
Club sailboat racing is fun because it combines the thrill of competition with the camaraderie of the sailing community. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned sailor, racing sharpens your skills, challenges your tactics, and gives every sail a purpose.
Club Sailboat racing is fast-paced, engaging, and incredibly rewarding — from mastering the wind shifts to pulling off a perfect start. Plus, after the race, there’s often a social side too: sharing stories, learning from others, and feeling part of a vibrant sailing scene. It’s a great way to improve, meet fellow sailors, and simply have a blast on the water.
It’s perfect for sailors who want to go beyond cruising, gain real-world racing experience, and enjoy the social side of sailing—all without owning a boat.
The goal of each night is to have fun, learn something new and try to put a few boats behind us at the end of the race. Then it’s back to the clubhouse for beverages, some laughs and a great BBQ put on by the club caterers.
Racing season runs from mid-May until the end of September. Being part of a race team requires a weekly commitment. You will need to be able to be at the boats by 5 pm to rig and get off dock by 5:30 pm at the very latest.
Four crew are assigned to a specific boat for racing.
Early spring we begin co-ordinating with our Sail Share members to see who is interested in racing. We have several race options:
Monday night – Ladies Racing
Tuesday night – PHRF Racing
Wednesday afternoon – RUST Racing
Thursday night – One Design Racing & JAM (Jib & Mail)
