Fall Series

Sept. 13th, 20th & 27th, and Oct. 4th 2008

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.
