Why race and how to get started

Racing is a great way to spend more time on the water, improve your sailing skills, and get to know fellow sailors from TS&CC and other clubs.

We have an active club racing program, and many current racers are happy to help new participants get started. All members can participate – whether racing their own boats or crewing for others. No experience is necessary and all events are free.

To learn more about racing you can:

• Join the TS&CC Slack channel, which helps connect crew members with skippers.
• Keep an eye out for occasional racing-focused courses and workshops.
• Email our Fleet Captain to find out how to get started.

Regular races 

• Tuesday Night Race Series. Run by the Boulevard Club weekly from late May to mid-September, open to TS&CC members.
• Thursday Night Race Series. Run by TS&CC weekly from late May to mid-September, open to Boulevard Club members.
• Women’s Helm Race Series. Held on select Thursday race nights. Teams of any composition can compete in Thursday races, but to be scored in the Women's Helm event a boat's skipper and at least half its crew must be women.
