Upcoming events

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.

We've still got a few question marks, but the schedule for 2013 is starting to come together.

Dyer Dhows

HYC has a new event for 2013.  This summer, we are hosting the Mamaroneck Frostbite Association for some sailing which doesn't involve frostbite.  We've got a schedule of Friday and weekend mini-regattas from May through September.  If you don't have a boat, we've got a few you can charter.  More details on the Dyer Dhow page.

Friday Twilight Series

What we're trying to do here is just get some people out sailing on a Friday evening.  It's nice to win, but it's not all about winning.  It's mostly about having a good time on the water.  if you can go out and have a good time, and you happen to get around the racecourse faster than the other boats, that's an added bonus.  When the race is over, come back to the club and enjoy some live music, good food, and good company.
