SERIES RACES
EYC participates in and/or provides logistical support for several seasonal Racing Series. In reverse chronological order, these are the Thursday Evening Multifleet Races, the Wednesday Evening Dinghy Races and the Tuesday Evening Beer-Can Races.

THURSDAY MULTIFLEET RACING SERIES
The format for the Thursday Series Races is a single race on a one-mile Olympic circle with separate starts for each of five fleets The fleets, in order of start, are Portsmouth Handicap, MultiHull, Santana 20, PHRF and Wavelength 24. For scoring purposes, the PHRF fleet is divided into two subFleets (PHRF A & B).

The Series is divided into four, approximately equal parts: Spring, Summer, Fall and Novice. The Spring, Summer and Fall follow in normal sequence. The Novice Races are interspersed so that one out of every four races is a Novice Race.

The Thursday Series is administered and managed by the EYC and TYC Joint Race Committee ( JRC). See the JRC Section below for more details.

WEDNESDAY DINGHY RACING SERIES
The Dinghy Races consist of multiple short races (~15 min / race) on courses set between EYC and the Dam. The normal participants are Lido 14s and Lasers, but any dinghy sailors are welcome to join the fun.

The Lido 14 Fleet administers the racing, and fleet members, Laser sailors or friends serve on Race Committee. The Race Calendar, RC Duty Roster and Scores may be found on the Lido 14 Fleet 81 Web Site.

TUESDAY BEER-CAN RACING SERIES
The Beer-Can Racing format is to start near the EYC Tower, sail around the Olympic Circle until a sound signal is given, and then retrace the outbound course. Ideally (if no one sandbags and wind conditions cooperate) all participants meet at the starting/finish line. There is no scoring and minimal rules.
