The Edgartown Yacht Club race weekend looks more competitive than ever this year, with 20 boats new to the competition out of 48. A series of buoy races just off Edgartown Harbor is scheduled for Thursday and Friday, July 23 and 24, followed by a Round-the-Island Race on Saturday, July 25.
Edgartown Race Weekend provides competitive racing for boats 28 feet and longer in divisions for IRC, PHRF (Spinnaker and Non-Spinnaker), and HPR. Specific classes for Double-Handed, One Design, and Classic yachts are added when at least three boats are entered for each discipline. Competitors have a choice of sailing just one session or the other, but the trend since 2012, when buoy racing first was added to the mix, has been participation over all three days.
