Harlem has an active fleet of J/24s. Fleet 61 activities include Wednesday night racing (May-September, usually 2 races/evening), Monday night racing (informal - great for crew training) and 3 Sunday afternoons of racing in the fall. Harlem also sponsors the Hoxsie Regatta, originally sailed in Star boats and resurrected in 1994 for Fleet 61.

The Vice Commodore's Regatta is one of Harlem's newer events. Designed to encourage mixing of the species, the rules for this race require that each boat be crewed by a mix of sailboat owners and powerboat owners.

Having trouble finding crew? Looking for an excuse to dump them? Join us for the shorthanded series. Three races (dates TBA), with single-handed and double-handed divisions. To keep things somewhat under control, no spinnakers allowed.

For those of you not up on the latest nautical lingo, a hand is a person, not an appendage. And we don't really care how short or tall they are, just that you don't have more than the requisite number of them on board.
