If you have never seen a sail boat race up close
and personal, here is your chance.
The Brockville Yacht Club has a very active sail
racing club with regular keelboat racing . The fleet
currently consists of three divisions; flying sail,
white sail and shark fleets. Races are held weekly
on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 6:00pm with a
Spring, Summer and Fall series for each of the
nights. The rating system used is PHRF and skippers
are required to have an up-to-date rating
certificate to be able to compete.
Spectators can
usually get a great view of the races from
Blockhouse Island or along the Brockville River
Trail, often with multiple boats
jockeying for position just feet from the rocks and retaining
walls.
