The Saturday schedule has been modified for this year - reflecting the members desire to have two races but to not be at CYC too long. Just like Tuesdays, we begin racing at 1 pm and will run a second race immediately following the first. Both races will count for the same Saturday series. Because we are running two races, we will NOT try to make up any races that are canceled due to weather (etc.).
On the first and last Saturday of the season we will only run one race because of the opening and closing meetings.
On Saturdays, we run starts for C-14s, Lasers, 420s, Sunfish, Optimists, and Beetle Cats. We also plan to have a series for the Adult Beginner class as a C-14 Green Fleet.
The opening meeting will be an in person meeting at CYC following the Saturday race beginning at approximately 3:00.
Opening day of this year's sailing school season.
On Tuesdays, we begin racing at 1 pm and run starts for 420s, Sunfish, Optimists, and Beetle Cats. We run two starts for each class with each start being a different season series. The second Beetle Cat start is our Women's Series. Even if you do not have one of these boats, you are welcome to come watch, or help patrol or help run the races.
On Wednesdays, the Junior Race begins at 2:00, after the sailing school race. Skippers must be under 16, but there is no age requirement for Crew.
