Club races
Races happen on Sunday mornings starting at 10:30 am sharp. Please arrive at least an hour before to begin rigging and warming up. Skippers' meeting is held at 10:00 am. All sailors tall or short, young or young-at-heart are welcome and needed. It's a lot of fun and there's always someone to help out if you are just getting started. The Learn to Sail program is also a great way to prepare for beginning to race.
View the calendar for race dates. Race results will be posted following each race.
Contact the fleet captains if you have questions about racing activities, race day volunteering or sailing at GRYC in general. The summer is short, so be sure to make the most of it.
