Racing

Racing is a big part of the Harlem Yacht Club.  No matter what your level, there's something in the racing program for you.  For the beginning racer, we have a variety of club races.  For the racer-cruiser folks, there's EBYRA, and for the hard-core, there's a highly competitive J/24 fleet.

Starting in the spring, we do the Rear Commodore's Regatta.  New for 2011, we inaugurated this as the Sprint To Louie's.  This is a short distance race over to Manhasset Bay, then lunch at Louie's Oyster Bar and Grille, followed by a raft-up.

The big event on the club race calendar is the Treat Race.  Open only to HYC members, racers compete for the Sidney C Treat Trophy and the Sidney J Treat Trophies.

In the fall, we have the Rear Commodore's Regatta, which requires skippers to sign up non-racers (either power boaters or associate members) as crew.

We also have the Ben Bates shorthanded series.

 The HarlemYacht Club is one of the four member clubs of the Eastchester Bay Yacht Racing Association. EBYRA runs PHRF racing events on Wednesday nights during the summer, as well as the City Island Cup in the spring, and the EBYRA Fall Series. The EBYRA web site (http://ebyra.org) will give you complete information about EBYRA events.
