On Sunday, MYC will be doing double duty, finishing up the Sunfish regatta and running its regularly scheduled Rum Race as well.  Note that this race will start at 3:00pm instead of the normal time of 2:00pm.

2018 MYC Fall Big Boat Regatta Kicks Off Tomorrow

Melbourne Yacht Club‘s  Fall Race Week event is coming to a close this weekend, and going out with a bang — three days of keel boat racing.

PHRF Triangle Races will be held on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. There will be three races altogether, each run and scored independently, with prizes for each race. Scoring will be PHRF Time on Time. You may participate in one, two or all three races.  These races do not count towards the Big Boat Regatta winner, meaning if you can not make the races on Friday, it will not hurt your scoring for the weekend regatta.
