It’s Race Day!
General Info
Club Racing usually runs every second Sunday during the sailing season - schedule is below and in the calendar. Please stay tuned to the Club Racing email list for updates.
All boat classes are welcome. We have active Mirrors, Lasers, Fireballs, Tasars, 420s, 29ers and RS 400/ Zest/ Feva/ Vision/ Quest boats which make regular appearances.
We use the RYA Portsmouth Yardstick handicapping system to level the playing field. PY numbers for HSC boats are listed at the bottom of this page, which are taken from the GL site here.
Race Committee
We run races from inflatable boats equipped with all the flags, horns and safety gear needed to properly officiate. If you would like to be on a race committee or have any other inquiries related to Club Racing, please let the Fleet Captain know.
Please do not phone us. Our phone is not monitored and we cannot access voicemails. A past manager changed the code and we do not know what it is. Email us!
Rules
HSC follows the Racing Rules of Sailing. However, the atmosphere is relaxed. Here is a racing rules primer for beginners in an easy-to-read format. Sailors come out to have fun in these friendly competitions and help each other figure out who broke what rule when. Hollyburn members are more than willing to help new racers learn the rules and tactics.
Skippers Update 12:30-1:00 pm
First race 1:30 p.m.

2026 Season Results
Regatta Results Key
Season Point calculation: Season Points = <# of boats> - <regatta placing> + 1
Example: In a regatta with 3 boats, first place gets 3-1+1=3pts, second place gets 3-2+1 = 2pts, third place gets 3-3+1 = 1 pt
Similar system to JSCA. All competitors get points and more points for beating more boats.
