2010 RYC Race Descriptions "The chance of mistakes are about equal to the number of crew squared." All our races are run under PHRF handicaps with some local modifications. On Thursday evenings two starts are used with one for less experienced or smaller boats, and the other for more ‘racy’, bigger boats. A wide range of cruising, racer cruising and racing boats enjoy competing on a friendly basis with safety at the forefront. Races generally take an hour and a half. Trophy and Open races run the gamut from Bay of Fundy races to Overnight, to Single-handed to Round Long Island races. Some races are white sail only, others are combinations of white and racing (spinnakers). For weekend races, the skippers' meeting generally takes place an hour before the start - usually at 1pm. Other information will be posted on this site and on the Clubhouse notice board. If you wish to serve on the Sailing Committee please contact the RYC Sailing Director (506) 832-4118.
