Saturday Afternoon PHRF Racing Series
Welcome! PYC has a vibrant racing community. The 2026 season has two Saturday race series:
Series I runs every Saturday from June 27, 2026 to August 1, 2026.
Note that we will not race on Saturday July 4; the race that week will be held on Sunday July 5.
Series II runs from August 8, 2026 to September 12, 2026.
The race committee uses standard courses, chosen on race day depending on wind conditions. We often run multiple races on race day. We use a handicap system so that all boats may compete, though the majority of the fleet is generally sailboats under 20’.
Races start at 2PM in Provincetown Harbor. We welcome all boats & crews, whether you are a club member or not. We use a handicap racing system (PHRF).
Information for captains and crew can be found on the Resources for Racers page.
