 About
the keelboat
racing division |
|
30
yachts make up the Keel Racing Division and on average, about 15
yachts compete in any one race. Races are held every Sunday all
throughout the year except June until October when races are held
on every second Sunday.
With skippers and crew combined, approximately 60 people sail on
race days. The fleet is divided into two divisions - those yachts
less than 30 feet in length and those 30 feet or longer. Races are
initially handicapped according to water line length and performance.
The division has its own race officers who start races and take
finish times. Several
of our skippers also compete regularly in the Yachting Association
of W.A. offshore races off the metropolitan coast and blue water
races to Geraldton, Carnarvon and Bunbury.
The division holds several longer races such as the Mindarie and
Return, Fairway Race, Commodore's Cup, Australia Day Race, Mariners
and Shepherdess Cups and Marmion Reef Race. HYC also hosts the interclub
regatta, the Pot of Gold.
