Weds Night series is a separate fun series that will be scored separately.  This is the place to start out if you just like to "cruise" or need a good excuse to be on the water.  Starts are 6:15 on the water, June 3.

The Col. Peet Trophy race has been both a 1-day or a 2-day regatta, the last few  years we've made it a long distance event. Click on link for results.

The season traditionally ends with the Labor Day regatta which in recent past has been a long distance race one day and round the buoys another.

Portsmouth handicaps are used and adjusted for single handed and light/heavy crew weight(Cats).  Member boats include Hunter 23/24/26, Flying Scots, Hobie 16/17/Tiger, Stars, and Lasers. 

Club Boats
OYC boats available for member use include (4) Hobie 14s, (2) Sunfish, and an O'Day Daysailor.   Junior sailors are asked to check in with the Lifeguards prior to leaving and again after returning.  If instruction is rigging is required, most any Club sailor can assist or contact Jim Kusche.

Hobie sails are in the black tubes near the boats,  and the Daysailor's are in the barn.
