2026 • PSA Small Boat Racing

• Flying Scot (& misc.) evening Sailing Series starts next spring. We're not sure whether it'll be on Tuesdays or Thursdays at this point. Feel free to touch base with folks if you have an opinion or preference for either day of the week.

Along those lines, there has been some discussion about having an RC boat on station more consistently for weeknight races. We'll be fleshing that out this winter, but the consensus is: having an RC boat on the line presents a superior product, a statement that says the Organizers care about the event and it also adds a level of security (tow boat back in, safety boat if needed). An RC boat on station presents increased potential for learning the nuances of a RRS Rule 26 starting sequence, which is the World Sailing standard for racing events. (we may delete two minutes between Papa Up and Papa Down--4 minutes down to 2 minutes)

In any case, stay tuned here and look for updates on what is being proposed or introduced for weeknight Small Boat racing in 2026.

Bring out your dinghy!

PSA has built a fleet of Flying Scots, a 19 foot daysailor that's easy to rig and sail. But we are not confining the competition to these popular boats. We'll see the occasional Albacore, ILCA (Laser) and even a Force 5 or two out with us on these evenings.

No matter if you are a PSA member, if you have a dinghy and want to do some very casual racing feel free to join us!

We've obtained a new safety boat, which serves nicely as a Signal Boat and comes in handy as a tow boat when the breeze disappears.

We want to keep this fun and casual! Please race "politely" and abide by the RRS.
