Thursday Night Races

May 20th through Sept. 16th 2010

The Portland Yacht Club cordially invites you to participate in 2010 Thursday Night Series.  This event is open to ALL sailing vessels who wish to enjoy a casual evening race on Casco Bay.  Whether you are brushing up on racing skills, unwinding after a hard day at work, or just looking for an excuse to get on the boat, please join us for this PYC tradition.
Thursday night racing is casual and fun.  There is no scoring. It is all about bragging rights and having an evening on the water. The format is one race scheduled each Thursday; weather permitting, for all classes.  First gun is scheduled at 1800 in the vicinity of Clapboard Island.  There is NO registration.  Click "Forms" to print Sailing Instructions and the Mark List. 
A BBQ at Portland Yacht Club for PYC members and guests will follow racing.  PYC members volunteer to take turns being Race Committee on Thursday nights.  This is a great time to be up close and personal with the action, additional volunteers are always welcome.
