Thursday Night Race Series
Classic weeknight racing. Join the fleet for a fun evening sail around the buoys near Clapboard Island.
History:
Arguably the most successful PYC sponsored racing event since its inception in 1961, this more casual racing attracts all sailors whether they’re inclined to race or not. The event starts at 6pm and includes an after race BBQ with daily awards (and bands in July & August) at the club. Scoring of Thursday Night Races began in 2012.
