Racing at OGYC There are many racing opportunities at OGYC for both experienced and novice racers. Weekly racing for PHRF rated boats is on Wednesday evening at 1900 in Captain Harbor. Three starts for three divisions covering the latest racing machines to the antique cruiser, and all divisions are non-spinnaker. For one-design racing, Ideal 18s are started on Wednesdays at 1900 in Captain Harbor on a short course with three or four races run in quick succession. On
Sunday afternoons, Ideal 18s, Lasers and Etchells are raced on longer
courses with three or four races are sailed over two to three hours. We
are joined on Sunday afternoon by sailors from Riverside YC, Indian
Harbor YC and the Belle Haven Club which brings as many as 10 to 20
Ideal 18s and over 20 Lasers to the starting line. Spinnakers are
allowed for any class that uses them.
On
four Friday evenings in June and July, each of the four clubs on
Captain Harbor host an evening of racing and prior to the Covid outbreak, a post race gathering. These may return in 2022. Starts are held for PHRF divisions and one-design Ideal 18s.
