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.

Top 10 reasons to join in for Tues. night racing
After initially publishing this list in 2019, it remains a good reminder from Adam Loory (recently retired from UK Sailmakers) on why racing isn’t just for weekends: 10. You can practice your tactics and maneuvers in a low-pressure environment. 9. You can bring along and train your B Team so they are ready to step-in when your weekend warriors can’t make it. 8. It forces you to get out of the office earlier than usual – bring a co-worker so they can finally appreciate and understand all those odd things they overhear you saying on the phone to crew mates. 7. It’s a great way to get your kids or other juniors out in big boats. 6. Chances are you’ll see a great sunset. 5. You can rotate your crew through different positions, which helps crew members understand maneuvers better. 4. You can sharpen your starting skills. 3. There often is a social element après sailing. 2. You just can’t get enough time on the water. ........ And the #1 reason to do weeknight club racing: 1. They don’t call it “beer can racing” for nothing! |

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!

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. |
