Be at Indian Harbor YC - Sun. Oct 13th @ 9:00AM EDT

This year will mark the 70th edition of this classic 46nm race. Run annually the Saturday of Columbus Day weekend, competitors typically race to Stratford Shoal and back.

Racing includes fully crewed and double-handed divisions plus a shorter 19nm course for non-spinnaker divisions.

The nickname "Gearbuster" attests to the usually boisterous weather we enjoy in October.

[Date has not been confirmed on IHYC web site but this is the expected date.]

Be at Stamford YC - Fri. Aug 30th @ 10:00AM EDT

First signal will be at 1200 Friday with the start at Flashing Red Bell "32" (The Cows) off Stamford Harbor.

Labor Day weekend's Vineyard Race is a classic American yachting event. This 238-mile course stretches from Shippan Point through the swirling currents of Plum Gut past Block Island, and on to the light tower at the entrance to Buzzard's Bay. Once reached, sailors return by leaving Block Island to starboard en route to the finish in Stamford Harbor.

Begun in 1932, it has attracted the finest sailors and fastest boats for nearly 80 years, and its intricacies and challenges bring them back time after time. Those who are successful nearly always credit local knowledge of these tricky waters and a good deal of luck.

The Vineyard Race was described in Yachting Magazine as, "The greatest distance races of the world have several things in common - a challenging course, competitive fleets and an interesting array of famous yachts. By those standards, the Stamford Yacht Club's Vineyard Race rates close to the top. Like a miniature Fastnet, the Vineyard has a combination of coastal cruising, where currents play a big role, a stretch of ocean sailing, and a mark to round - the Buzzards Bay tower - before returning."
