Club Racing

Club racing for the YMACSC occurs on Saturdays throughout the spring, summer and into the autumn, this is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. We have full canteen facilities an after race BBQ and quality racing run by members and volunteers.

We race many off the beach dinghy and catamaran classes with all levels of experience catered for, from beginner to national champions.

Racing starts at 2pm, this allows participants to come down, have some lunch and socialise before and after the racing. Results are provided after the racing and prizes awarded to the winners. We are a very family oriented club so come down and enjoy the fun.
