Racing at Port Madison Yacht Club

Welcome to PMYC's  Race Page.  We incorporate a small number of varied, challenging and fun events into a calendar year that will both create some great memories and even greater friends and fellow competitors.  

Big Boats:  Generally, we have 3 divisions in our big boat races:  Fast, Half-Fast, and Cruising Class.   Boats wanting to race more seriously and rate PHRF 135 or less will be in the Fast Division.  Boats rating 136 or higher will be in the Half-Fast Division.  The Cruising class includes those sailors who want to get out and enjoy their boat in a competitive environment but are not so serious that they need to empty out all their lockers to compete against the stripped- out light race boats.  PMYC will make every attempt to rate your boat in a real “as sailed” situation. Our focus is participation and fun, so make your plans now for the year's events!  Full details are on our Big Boat Racing Page.

Dinghy Racing:  Our dinghy crowd races year-round with a Friday night and weekend series throughout the year. The club puts on a huge sailing school and the well attended Johnny Adams Memorial Dinghy Regatta – JAM, in September. A highly active and competitive group of juniors and adults.  Full details are on our Dingy Racing Page.
