    CIYC Racing Team Florida Trip

    The CIYC Racing Team duo Hayden van Zandt and Ocean Timmins spent last week with head coach Leopold Brandl in Jensen Beach, Florida. They started their preparation for the season and competed in the C420 Midwinter Championships – a highly competitive regatta with only the best sailors from all around the country. Both of them improved their technique and teamwork greatly and can’t wait for the season in New York to start.

    The Sayers is not just for serious racers. This is a chance for cruisers to show just how good they are, too! No spinnakers, no spinnaker poles, no whisker poles. No reachers, bloopers, whoppers, or anything else that doesn’t attach to your headstay. It’s a pursuit start. The time your boat starts is determined by your rating. Slower boats start first. Faster boats start later. Everybody finishes together. No drama! No crunching, as seen at the starts of other races!

    If you have a PHRF Rating, you are all set. If you don’t have a PHRF Rating, please contact Rich Coar. He will establish a rating for your boat. Email or call:  or 917.370.7938.

    We hope to see you out there!

    • 9 AM: complimentary bagels, donuts and coffee; Scratch Sheets including your individual start time will be available on the porch
    • 11 AM: First race starts; then it’s back to the Clubhouse for a buffet lunch ($29.95/pp plus tax and gratuity)
    • The second race is around Hart Island after lunch (time TBD). 
    • Sailors will return to the Club for race results and our famous CIYC sunset. Order dinner from The Galley menu and enjoy delicious specials by Chef Jaime.
