$325.00

The centerpiece of the club’s racing program are the Wednesday night races. Three Series of 5 races each are run between mid -May thru mid-September. At the end of the year, awards are given out at the annual banquet in early November for each Series winners as well as awards for the Fleet Champions.

BHSC also provides a Tuesday racing program. One is titled China Light which is designed as a women’s teaching program. Certain parameters exist such as a female must be the helmsperson, she must be a BHSC member and there must be more women onboard than men. This is designed to encourage women to become actively involved in sailing and to provide as much racing experience as we can offer.

*Race registration is $225 if received prior to 3/1. Payment received 3/1 or after is $325. Receipt of form alone does not constitute registration. Payment must be complete. 

The Buffalo Harbor Sailing Club races by the rules set forth by US Sailing. Membership in US Sailing is optional. We encourage you to support this governing body. US SAILING is the National Governing Body (NGB) for the sport of sailing and sailboat racing in the United States. Its’ mission is to encourage participation and promote excellence in sailing. US SAILING accomplishes this through volunteers and member organizations, supported by an administrative staff and funded through your membership dollars. BHSC earns “MVP credits” when our members join or renew a US Sailing membership. Those credits can be traded for nearly everything US Sailing offers such as rule books, event prizes and most importantly and race management training programs! The credits are dollar-for-dollar and add up fast. When purchasing a US Sailing membership through our unique link, you will unlock a discounted membership price and communicate to US Sailing that you are a part of Buffalo Harbor Sailing Club.
