This on-the-water keelboat race training practice event allows any keelboat owner to try sailing around a short race course – without the stress of competition from other boats.
For 2026, this year Keelboat Race Practice will run on two Friday Evenings: May 22 and 29.
How to participate:
- Each keelboat race training session starts on a Friday evening at 1730 in the NSC Sailing Room with a briefing and review of the format for this on-water event.
- Prior registration is not required, and the event is free of charge.
- Bring your Own Boat and Crew. This year we will also have limited space for crew without a boat to participate
- The practice races are held in the Charlie Racing Area, located between NSC and BYC.
- The first practice race starts at 1900.
- Informal reviews and Q&A may be held after racing in the Galley.
