The CYC Racing Program provides a wide variety of opportunities for sailors of all skill levels to participate.

Buoy Racing Program:
Provides for windward-leward race courses and fleet racing, with up to three races scheduled on a given race date. Spinnaker and Non-spinnaker classes will be accommodated. Races will be approximately 4 miles in length and under the direction of a race committee. Buoy racing will be conducted under PHRF handicapping and scored time on time.

Regattas:
Regattas are day or weekend events where all Carlyle Lake sailors may participate. A regatta may include one or several round-the-buoys races, or a distance course. Regattas may be sponsored by any of the clubs on the Lake, including CYC, CSA, BYC, and Tradewinds.

Distance Sailing Program:
Provides for racing over extended courses approximately ten miles in length, as opposed to "round the buoy" windward / leeward courses. Spinnaker and Non-spinnaker classes will start simultaneously in a fleet format. DSP starts occur in a fleet format at exactly 11:AM GPS time, without a race committee boat. DSP is a multi-club program and any boat owner on Carlyle Lake is welcome.

Wednesday Navy:
Provides for a fun way to play hookey once a month on summer Wednesday afternoons. Non-spinnaker only, sailed on a distance course between the dam, Coles Creek and Cove 4. The start is a rabbit start, where a boat's starting time is dependent on its rating. The first boat to finish wins the race.

Hare and Hounds:
Hare and Hounds is sponsored by Carlyle Sailing Association. H and H Provides for fun, low-key racing on several weekend dates. Spinnaker and Non-spinnaker boats are accommodated. Hare and Hounds races start just outside the CSA harbor entrance, and the course is between there, Coles Creek, and Cove 4. A rabbit start is used, where a boat's starting time is dependent on its rating. The first boat to finish wins the race.

Radio Controlled Sailing Fleet:
Radio Controlled Sailing Fleet began in the spring of 2006 and became an AMYA sanctioned club in the Fall of 2006. We have sailors of all skill levels and encourage all who have an interest in sailing. Join us at any of our scheduled races and take the controls of one of our boats to get the "feel" of it. We sail primarily Soling One Meter boats but all RC boats are welcome.
