Welcome to the LCSA racing section! We do our thing on Thursday nights, and we are a bit different, completely nontraditional, hey our starting sequence is weird and we like it that way, horns, no flags, and maybe a random siren? But if you want to have fun and try to beat the guy in front of you with the faster boat, you are in the right place!
It was a very successful 2023 racing season for our club! I was really impressed with the willingness of our club members to help out with committee boat duty and in short "do their part". We tried all sorts of new courses and distances, and really mixed things up, while still keeping our familiar island course, as well.
2024 is going to be different, too, with more of our races being determined by wind direction, speed, and consistency...the goal being to let us stay out on the water a little longer in good air, and keep the courses a little shorter in light air. Details will be published in our weekly race announcements.
1 blast of 2 to 3 seconds at 5 minutes before start.
1 short blast at 3 min
1 short blast at 1 min
1 long blast at START
Our courses can vary from week to week, so be sure you are signed up to receive the weekly race bulletin sent out by the Race Coordinator. The map shows the locations of some of the many buoys we use during our races.
Members only
If you would like to participate on the committee boat, or volunteer to crew, we'd love to welcome you aboard. Click the acknowledgment button below to sign up.

Crewing (assisting) racers is one of the best ways to sharpen your sailing skills! If you want to crew, you can show up at Pier 4 at Seven Coves parking lot between about 4:00 and 4:15 Thursdays in September and October and you can hitch a ride with one of our racers!
However, to ensure that everyone has a berth, please click the Committee Boat/Crew disclaimer link (at left) to sign up. This will bring you to a spreadsheet where you can sign up.
Be sure to bring your parking permit (at right)
If you are crewing on someone's boat, or serving committee boat duty, and you do not have a parking permit, you need to display this sign on your dashboard
Those that plan on racing should also plan on being available to volunteer on the committee boat at least once per series, either as captain or crew. A minimum of 2 people is required to set marks and run the races. Plus hey this is fun to float around and sound the horns (and or siren)!
Our experienced captains are John Moulds, Bob lenhart, Jim Hall, Brad Ballard, Gerrit Rickwalt, Josh Terry, Dick Morton, Brad Reel, Nick Berryman, and Chuck Pool.
As others help with races they will become drivers.
PLEASE sign up on the open database entitled “Committee Boat Sign-Up” panel directly above this. The committee boat drivers have the last minute authority on canceling a race due to weather conditions.
*** Racing boats arriving at the starting line :15 minutes or later after the start time will not be started or scored ***
