Skill Building Through Racing

2023 Summer Regatta

1. The Renton Sailing Center Skill Building Through Racing Summer 2023 Regatta begins Tuesday, April 18 and continues weekly on Tuesdays Through August.

2. Participation is open to all RSC members and their guests, and it begins when the racer emails raceres@rentonsailing.org and asks to participate in a particular event. Email requests to participate will be accepted between noon Friday and 6 PM Monday before the following Tuesday’s race. Participation in each weekly event requires a unique email request for that specific week.

3. The Race Committee will form the race teams (crews) and will assign the boats. Crews and boats will be assigned based on sailor’s experience levels, with the goal of maximizing learning opportunities (basic sailing, racing, and mentoring) with safety first, in a fun sailing environment.

4. The number of participants on any particular Tuesday will be limited by the number of boats we have available.

5. Rigging of boats will begin at 5 PM. Plan to be at the dock at 5:00 to help rig. Parking at Coulon Beach Park can be crowded on a warm Tuesday afternoon so plan accordingly.

6.  1st race will begin at 6 PM. The goal of the Race Committee will be to have the last race end before the end of local civil twilight, leaving time for competitors to derig boats before dark.

The Renton Sailing Center Board and the Race Committee are excited about another year of Skill Building Through Racing camaraderie and fun, and hope that you’ll consider joining us.
