2009-2012 Racing Rule Changes Explained by US Sailing

NEW Introductory Racing Rules from ISAF

KYC racers resolve to use only port roundings for race series and future events.
(as of the 2010 season)

KYC weekly sailing races are conducted by KYC Sailing and Racing Committee.

The races begin in March of each year with Sunday races
until the summer months, Wednesday evening during the summer,
and back to Sunday in the Fall.

All races are conducted on Okanagan Lake.

KYC racing fleet is a large supporter of the club’s events and
sponsors events to enhance the club.
We purchase equipment for the club, youth sailing, youth education
as well as supporting the club’s activities.
The racing fleet consists of all keel boat classes, 525 fleet and white sails.

Adult sailing classes, open to the general public, are conducted by the Sailing Fleet, teaching novice and experienced sailors all aspects of sailing, including on-the-water courses.

Many participants of the Adult Sailing courses have the opportunity to crew on racing boats for scheduled races. KYC Sailing Fleet sponsors two regattas each year which are open to members of other Yacht clubs. Both regattas operate under CYA rules and accommodate keel boats of all sizes, 525 fleet class, and white sails. KYC has the largest Santana 525 fleet in Canada and the Pacific Northwest, (Canada and USA).
