SAILING/REGATTAS

SAILING AT BLYC

 

At the core of BLYC is its commitment to fostering growth in the sport of sailing. There are many active racing and cruising fleets at BLYC -- from the adrenaline filled competition in the Lightning fleet (a racing class with over 15,000 boats worldwide) -- to the more gentile racing in one of our classic catboat fleets -- to the personal performance of the Sunfish fleet. Needless to say there is something for everyone who is interested in sailing regardless of your experience level. 

​

In addition to the regular intraclubs, each fleet hosts social events and year-end awards for the sailors.

 

Lightning/Catboat/Sunfish races begin at 1pm and crashboats should report by 12pm. Sunfish races begin at 11am and crashboats should report by 10:30am.

​

For more information, contact our Rear Commodore, Bryan Lewis.
