Wednesday night
sailboat racing is nationally known for its low key "fun"
racing, most often dubbed the "Beer Can Series". The Tahoe
Yacht Club has found that busy weekend schedules as well as consistent
evening breezes produces the highest number of boats for this weekly
"hump-day" event.
The season of
racing is broken into two series, Spring and Summer. The spring
series includes 7 nights of racing, and begins on May 28, 2008,
ending on July 9, 2008. There will be a Spring series awards party
following the racing on Wednesday, July 9.
The summer
series also includes 7 nights of racing, and begins on July
16 and ends on August 27.
The August 27 event will be followed by the Beer Can
Ball, an awards party for the Summer series. Post race get-togethers
at the club are always a laugh as the events of the evening are
re-animated.
For those who just can't get enough sailing in in our short summers, join
in the "Conner Fall Beer Can Series" starting September
3, 2008 in memory or our friend Eric Conner. See notice
of race.
The
club continues to make a true commitment to the boats of yesteryear
that have a tough time competing head to head with the sport boats
of the new millennium. There are three separate PHRF divisions.
Division 1 is for boats with PHRF ratings of 53 and below; Division 2 is for boats with PHRF 54-114, and Division 3 is PHRF 117 and up.
Wednesday night
racing in Tahoe is plenty of fun, but don’t let the traditional
attitude fool you; these races provide great competition as well!
