Portland Yacht Club Race Series

The 2009 Portland Yacht Club Race Series consists of four main events; the Pilot Regatta, the PHRF State of Maine Championships & One Design Regatta, the Monhegan Island Race, and the Fall Series which includes the popular Lightship Race.  Fun and informal, non-scored, Thursday night races are also run every week starting May 21st and continuing through September 17th.
