Racing at Flushing

We are primarily a racing club, racing a variety of keelboats, some multihulls, and traditional gaff-rigged boats. At present there are nine racing classes. Racing takes place on Tuesday evening and Saturday afternoon. There is also a short joint series with RCYC which on a Friday evening, their normal racing evening. From time to time additional special races take place.

To race you must complete the Race Registration and Entry Form and pay the appropriate racing fee. If you are already a Club member, you can purchase a discounted block entry. If you are not a Club member, you can still race, but you pay a little more. If you only want to enter specific series, or races, you can do so, at a fairly nominal amount.
