RacingOur informal sailboat races provide a chance for everyone to improve their sailing ability and to compete in a friendly environment. We often raft up for social hour after races (non-race participants welcome too!) so be sure to make time to hang around.
The races are open to all sailboat classes and the Portsmouth Yardstick handicap system is used to correct finish times for relative boat performance. The 20267 Racing Schedule is every Saturday in May and June except for Memorial Day Weekend (Spring Series) and every Saturday in September and October except Labor Day Weekend (Fall Series). Races start at 12 noon. Race Committee requires at least 2 boats to RSVP by 5pm Friday in order to run the race; if RC needs to cancel for weather, they'll do so by 9am Saturday. Races, as well as other events, are also listed on our Calendar Page. The 2026 Commodores' Cup against VTSC is scheduled for Saturday, August 29th at noon. Race Committee Information: We are always looking for race committee volunteers, and anyone can step in - no need to be a racer! All competing boats are required to volunteer for at least one Race Committee duty each year. Don't be intimidated - RC duty can be a great way to get out on the lake during the summer with family and friends to hang out and watch some sailing. Dates are assigned on a first come, first served basis. There are instructions and a checklist so don't be nervous - but you can always volunteer to help someone your first time. The Club Boat is available for use as a Race Committee boat. **Please note: if you are unable to run RC on the date you have signed up, it is your responsibility to find someone else to cover that day! |
