May 27th  Spring Classic-Round Perry Race

Whether you are a seasoned vet, or if you have never raced, this is a perfect chance to get out and tune up the boat and sail with our PYC family.  I personally have had so much fun at these races.  The start is setup “Pursuit” style meaning the boats with slower ratings start first and the faster boats start later and try to chase them down. If everyone is able to sail their boat to the best of its ability the hope is we all finish at the same time.  The beauty of this type of race is you generally start pretty close to by yourself, and there is no crowded mark rounding’s or most of the other factors which sailors unfamiliar with racing can find worrisome.  It is just good clean sailing with intention and some of the most fun we have as a club.  From photo finishes, to just spending the day out on the lake with friends, this really is a can’t miss event.   Following this adventure, we will all be back at the club enjoying a “Grill and Chill” social event.  It’s sailboat racing at is finest!
