Resources for Racers

Captains (including Visiting and non-member Captains): To race, fill out the Race Registration Form .

Please note that all Captains and boats must be registered prior to racing.

Crew: If you are interested in being an alternate for crewing in our races, please visit our Member Forum. Once you register, you will see a private board called ”Alternates for Race Program Crew” in the “Member Connections” category. This board is only visible to registered members of the forum (only PYC members). Here, you can post your information so the captains can consider you for crewing opportunities. If you can’t navigate the Member Forum, please complete the Crew Registration Form.
