This race series is intended to be a fun opportunity to get out on the water and engage in friendly competition. It is a great way to meet other sailors as well as tune your sailing skills. Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 sailors overall for the series. Teams and boats will be assigned randomly on the night of the race to level the playing field (no killer teams). Everyone has a chance to do well in the standings each night.

Prizes will be awarded for first - third place for the series overall.
The score for a given race is applied to the boat’s place in the race. Everyone on the boat receives the boats score at the end of the night.

Other things to try!
This course will help you learn to optimize your sails and improve your boat handling skills for higher performance sailing. Your keelboat sailing skills will move to a new level without moving up to a bigger boat.
This class is designed to give you the knowledge that you need to safely operate a powerboat that is under 26 feet. Many of these skills and concepts are transferable to larger craft. The classroom time will provide information on trip planning, navigation rules, boat systems, maneuvering theory and much more. In between classroom sessions you will get to go out on our powerboats with an instructor to get hands on training on boat systems as well as learning how to maneuver and dock the boat.
Small Boat Navigation: Learn navigation and piloting skills for small boats. This class is ideal for small boat cruisers, kayakers and others who want to roam closer to nature.
