Racing

CYC offers Class and Handicap racing from June to October. Races are open to keelboats helmed by CYC members. Membership application forms can be found here.

We are super excited to start racing for the 2022 Season.
Our first racing day hopefully will be June 2, for our first Thursday night race. Please take time to look at the changed SI 2022 and Registration Form 2022.
