Regular Events & General Information

The club sails 36-600s & U.S. One Meter as a single class, Marblehead (with some local restrictions), East Coast 12 Meter and Victoria. In addition, we sail a local class we call Multi-Class, which is any boat of any class and is handicapped based on sailing waterline length. Since all club members sail Victorias, it is the largest class sailed. Regattas are generally held every second Saturday. In addition to racing, trimming/ practice sessions are held on open Saturdays and on occasional Wednesday afternoons in summer months. Club Membership requires AMYA membership and all boats registered. AMYA dues are currently $25/year and club dues are currently $15/year and vary from year to year. Radio Channels are allocated (one channel / skipper).
