Safety Message

 

From its earliest days, yacht racing has always been an important part of the Boston Yacht Club. Today, BYC members compete at all levels of the US SAILING Association and ISAF (International Sailing Federation) competition. The premier offshore racing event for the area is the Marblehead-to-Halifax Ocean Race, run in conjunction with the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron every second year. Each year for PHRF classes the Boston runs a regatta over Memorial Day weekend,  the Hodder Ocean Race and the Beringer Bowl Overnight Race to Provincetown.  BYC was the primary participant in founding the PHRF New England Organization in 1977, and is a co-sponsor of the annual PHRF-NE Championships. BYC is the host club for the 2011 PHRF-NE regatta.

One-design racers aren't forgotten either - the club participates in the Marblehead Racing Association's MRA  Series and the National Offshore One Design NOOD Regatta at Marblehead Race Week. If this weren't enough, the Boston runs a frostbite series in Sonars each winter, host the Jackson Cup invitational for team racing, and the Marblehead Cup for match racing. It also competes annually with EYC and CYC for bragging rights to the Commodore's Cup for team racing.

2011 Highlights:

  • Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race - July 10, 2011
  • US Match Racing Men's ABC Group Championship August 20-21, and in 2012 BYC will host the US Match Racing Men's final for the Prince of Wales Bowl. See http://championships.ussailing.org/  - See results here
