Greetings racers and happy New Year. It's that time again and racers have a few tasks for the start of the year to be eligible for racing and trophies. Please note the following decisions made at our racers' meeting in December:
1. We will be racing around the buoys and distance races as 1 combined division know at the "Fleet".
2. As per our Sailing Instructions you do not need a PHRF certificate to race (just a club handicap) but to be eligible for trophies you must have a current PHRF.
All racing boats must fill out/send a copy of the race registration form https://www.cfsaesq.ca/node ..read more

Greetings Sailors:
It's time to think about next year's racing, remember PHRF certificates and new racing registration forms must be presented in January 2024. PHRF certificates will be required for those wanting to compete for trophies. Boats may race with a club handicap but will not be entered into standings for trophies.
New racers are encouraged to come out and we plan on having a series of talks "Racing 101" for those interested or new to racing after races on Sundays in the Fleet Club.
Here is the link to racing registration:
