One-design Buoy Racing, Multiple Starts Each Night
CYC Sound Wednesdays, hosted by the Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle, provides a competitive racing experience. The program features practices starting in March and runs the season from April through mid-September, with a full-season commitment strongly recommended. Tailored for racers with prior Ballard Cup (or equivalent races) experience, this series focuses on the intricacies of one-design racing, covering boat preparation, sail selection, tactics, sail trim, time, and starts. Crews in Sound Wednesdays bring a heightened level of seriousness and commitment to the course, offering a challenging and rewarding experience for dedicated racers.
Team options include Coached, Member Skippered, or Run Your Own Boat (RYOB) depending on boat availability and racer experience.
After racing, teams are invited to CYC for debriefing, team interaction, and socializing with other racers over drinks and food.
