Note: The 2013 YRYC race circulars for the Admiral's Cup, York River Cup, and the Moonlight Race are attached as Word files below. We are looking into a rules change which would allow 6P boats to compete in daytime CCV sanctioned races. Also attached is a copy of the YRYC racing guide book as a PDF file. In addition to the above, I've attached a PDF copy of Mike Mastracci's "Sailboat Racing 101" course.

**************************************************************************************************************************

* The YRYC Race Captain and the Race Committee boat captain determine if we will be racing or not on any given Wednesday Night. In general, a race is assumed to be "ON" unless the weather looks really bad and the Race Captain sends out an e-mail to the racers and changes the race page of this website to say that the race is "CANCELED" -- The Race Captain will try to get cancellation notices posted on our yryc.org website by 3:45pm on the race day in question. In some cases the decision to cancel a race will be made on the docks a few minutes after 5pm -- this usually occurs if a bad thunderstorm line is showing up on radar and is coming our way. If you would like to get in touch with the YRYC Race Captain, Steve Bowen, about a particular race his cell phone is (757) 869-7830.

***** A final note about racing with the YRYC -- the race committee tries very hard to make sure that we are racing in somewhat safe conditions but racing is dangerous, the weather is unpredictable, and the final decision as to whether or not to go racing rests with each individual captain and crew. *****
