Thank you to the crew of Vapor Trail and Neal Melanson for providing these photos and coming from out of state to participate in the 2008 PYC Fall Series.

The best sailing conditions in Maine seem to happen from September to October and offer some of the best racing all year.  All sailboats along the coast of Maine are invited to compete in four consecutive Saturday races.

One of the four days will include the popular Lightship Race, a race over 20 miles to and from the former Lightship station in Casco Bay.  This race boasts the award of the prestigious Moore Trophy.

Chili, chowder and refreshments conclude each brisk and exciting day of racing.

The Fall Series is open to any sailboat that wants to compete.  Any sailboat participating in the PYC Fall Series with a valid PHRF certificate and GMORA membership will be scored for the GMORA Western Series championship.

Sunday, September 27 will be reserved as an alternate race day and used at the discretion of the Race Committee.  There will be one race scheduled each day. Additional races may be run at the discretion of the Race Committee.  A copy of the scratch sheet and starting sequence will be available at the skippers meeting.
