Point Roberts racers already know that year round, PR winds are some of the most favourable around -and right from the breakwater entrance, with the start line often within 5 min. of your slip. The winds are unobstructed and the tides are predictable. Prior to the CoVid/Border closure, it was selected to host Race Week 2020.
Each year, PRYC offers various seasonal series and the Point Roberts Classic Regatta. PHRF, White Sails (you race it, we'll rate it) are all welcome to join in. New to racing?, wiley veteran tactician?, if you're keen to do it, we're keen to have you.

Both RaceDay 1 & 2 were cancelled due to weather. So it was great to finally get a race in on Day3. As participants will attest, it wasn't a gentle, easing back into it day sailing, starting in the high teens and quickly increasing to sustained low 20s -we saw peak of 27kts- (all TWS)! To help make up for the 2 missed February dates, March 15 has been added to the Series for racing.

Gotta love good race day weather in October!!!
You never know what weather you're going to get until you're down at the docks. In spite of some less than nice weather for Sept. & Oct. our racing days have had some wonderful sailing conditions. There's still three race days in Nov. to come join in the Fall Series fun. Why not come out and partake?

Winter Series is wrapped
The final day of racing saw a wild spectrum of conditions -under mostly blue skies- for skippers and crew, followed by chatter and conversation on the N-Dock Club Float. See the Racing page for Day and Series results. We're always encouraging more boats -so if you're considering it, get in touch with our Fleet Captain.
Skippers, as Winter Series wraps up, please check in w/your crew and see about forwarding any photos you have of this series to the webmaster -there were some great days of sailing in there!

Three races in, three VERY different days!!!
For Race Day #3, we had a gorgeous day -sunny and warm. Low winds, but a little bit better than forecasted. The US commercial fisheries were open, so some extra navigating to add to the adventure. We threw a mark off the PRM entrance for a start line, rounded Lighthouse Park, then up to the International mark and back through the start/finish. Pleasant sailing for most of the race, with cracker weather. Can't ask for much nicer in October! Next Race is Oct. 26 -come on out and join us!
Fall Series has begun!!!
The first day is in the can, but there's lots more to go, just touch base with our Fleet Captain to get the Skinny. Rattle the crew and get them to mark their calendars, for the next Fall Series date. There's plenty of fun to go around. If you haven't partaken before, let us know and we'll help get you set up -either with your own boat, or try to match you up as crew on another vessel. The more the merrier!!!

Winter Series -another great day!
While initially looking a little lighter than the predictions, we ended up with very nice conditions for Race Day #2. We're certainly not going to say no to this! And with a blink of an eye, our next date is in March. Here's a few shots of the day to enjoy. |

Winter Series is underway! Dusting off the cobwebs (or scrubbing the hull) after a couple months off, it was great to kick off the Winter Series. Lights winds (but a little better than predicted) with rainless clouds, made for a great start, although the fading breeze and unsympathetic currents created challenges... but great to be back. Thinking you'd like to partake? Our next race is Feb. 24. Contact [email protected] if you're wanting join us. |

Fall Series has wrapped -but it's never early to think sailing, watch for Winter Series dates !
After a howler of storm the night before our final race day, the wind did the opposite of what was predicted and pretty much shut down. One boat rode in on the tail end of the breeze, while others bobbed around for a while. BUT the warm, sunny day could have been mistaken for early October. Stay tuned for the posting of Winter Series dates.
If you weren't out for the past series -but want to be- then why not join us? Member or not, we want to encourage Club activity, and any reason (excuse) we can to get out on your boat and dust off those boating skill cob-webs the better. Whether Skipper or Crew, if you're interested in participating, please fill out the link on the racing page.

If this is October weather, I could take it all year!
Last day of October racing gave us a beautiful day on the water. A light frost when arriving, light winds for most of the race, but a great day to be out on the water. |

Fall Classic (Sept. 16)
Light 6-8 kt winds, but a great day for the boats partaking in our 2023 edition of the Fall Classic. It served as a great kick off to Fall boating and the upcoming Fall Racing Series that begins Sat., Sept. 30 (hint, hint, hint). Contact our Fleet Captain Murray, for more info and to sign up. |
