Our Mission
Our races encourage friendly competition and the development of sailing skills among boats and crews of all experience levels.
  Boats considering entering a race or the series are encouraged to review the notice, and to reach out with any questions.

Come Join Us!
For Skipper's that are curious and want to try an afternoon of racing, we offer crew as available to help you race the boat, show you how to start and sail the course, or give a refresher on the racing rules. These races are a great way to actively use your boat,  and fine tune your skills.
