JYC Racers, despite our struggles with the tide/current today in setting our pin, the day was a great finish to the 2023 racing season. Thank you to all our racers and a special thank you to our great volunteers on race committee! Hopefully, we’ll see you all at the...

Racers and Race Committee, Thanks to all those dedicated sailors and volunteers who came out in less than ideal conditions to join us for Race #4 of the Fall Series! After the bounce of last week, we had flat seas, but plenty of wind and rain and then the fog came in!...

JYC Racers, Thanks for sticking it out with the Race Committee today as we did our best to give you a Sunday race despite the fluky breeze, commercial traffic, threatening fog and threatening thunderstorms. It was a first for RC to both change a course for one fleet...

Well, it was a sad end to the Tuesday nights of our racing season with very little wind and strong tide once again. Thanks to all who came out for a try.  As announced prior to the start, we will now shift the remainder of the Fall Series to Sunday afternoons,...

Racers, While I’m not sure it is really summer judging by our temps lately, we’re at race #2 in the series. I’d like to thank all of our competitors for staying clear of our Tuesday evening commercial traffic. It is very much appreciated to keep our series running....

JYC Racers: Beautiful evening for our 1st race of the Summer Series and great grill mixer at CYC to end the evening. We hope all of you who attended enjoyed it. We received kudos from the tug & barge for keeping out of the way of his passage. So many, many thanks...

Dear Racers, I am cancelling tomorrow’s race due to the gale warning in place for Narragansett Bay.  I’ve been informed TPG Conanicut Marina has already cancelled the launch for tomorrow. It has been a very good season and we hope to see you at the Installation &...

Thanks for a great Summer Series! We’ll see those who’ve registered on the water for next week’s first Fall Series race (Tuesday, Aug 30).  We’ll have a small break for Labor Day weekend and see you back for the remainder of the Fall series on Sunday’s, Sept 11 – Oct...

Racers,  Last night’s incident with the oiler vessel raised concern with the pilot. Please bear in mind that while you may feel you are okay and keeping distance, the pilot may not be able to see you from their vantage point.  Just a reminder: Per our JYC...

Dock start. Very fluky wind with lots of gusts. We had a 150 degree wind shift just before the start so glad we got everyone off.

Due to weather today racing was canceled. What a start to the 2022 season! Sorry folks.
