Sail Racing
From large boats to small boats – and everything in between
As the saying goes, “if there are two sailboats on the water, it’s always a race!” And when it comes to NERYC boats, you can be sure the racing is competitive but also enjoyable, fair, and well-organized.
NERYC boasts a community of world-class yacht racers, including top finishers in prestigious events like the Newport-Bermuda Race, Annapolis-Newport Race, the Governor’s Cup, and various other highly competitive races. Our NERYC Junior Bay Racers team consistently achieves victories at regattas up and down the Bay.
But you don’t need to venture far from the North East River to put your racing skills to the test. We host both formal and informal sail racing events right in front of the club, including Spring and Fall PHRF series, as well as a casual Summer Evening Race Series. Additionally, the club proudly hosts an annual CBYRA-sanctioned Invitational Regatta, which serves as a region one high points qualifier, along with The Moonlight Run overnight distance race.
Moreover, you don’t need to own a sailboat to participate in the excitement. NERYC skippers are always on the lookout for crew members!
