PYC Small Boats on Facebook

In addition to this blog, PYC Small Boats has a Facebook page which we'll use for posting more immediate information than can be found on this blog.

Something I'll do is post to facebook when I'm planning race on a given evening, Monday nights, or any other time. Glenn Gardner is doing this as well. Also, whenever your at the club please use the facebook group to post wind/sailing conditions. It will help people decide whether they should make that long drive on a questionable Monday evening, or even spark some ad-hoc racing on other days when a few people decide to show up

Monday Night Racing

This occurs, as you might guess, on Monday nights, beginning the week after Memorial Day and ending the week before Labor Day. However, we may start earlier this year, since most of our racers have wet/dry suits anyway. (By mid-April, a number of our guys have already been out.)

People arrive around 6pm, with races starting as soon as we get on the water. We try to have a few races per evening, so feel free to straggle in. We run races until a little before sunset.

What boats can race?

Pretty much anything smaller than a Lighting. Generally we have Lasers, Sunfish and windsurfers.

Is it highly competitive?

No! We're just out to have fun, and this is a great place to work on skills.

Over the past couple of years it has not been a large group, so we want as many people racing as possible. So this year, we'll be using Rabbit Starts, and some neat bouys that Scott Fohey found that can be transported via sailboat and even windsurfer. On most evenings we will not even be taking out the Whaler. (However, if you're comfortable driving the whaler, and would like to come watch, please do so!)
