Racing

If you want to race your own boat Seal Beach Yacht Club is the club for you. We are a major PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) Regatta sponsor. Ask around the harbor to get an appreciation for the outstanding job our race committee does.

At a typical Seal Beach Yacht Club race there are 20 to 30 boats in 4 or 5 classes.

We sponsor 3 major series of races:

​

• Saturday Sailors Series is 5 races from January through March. This will motivate you to get your boat out of the slip even on a cold winter’s day, but this is Southern California! No worries about ice or snow.

• Our Pop-Top Series is on Thursday nights from May through September: 3 series, with 6 races per series for a total of 18 races. The burger bash and awards ceremonies are a must attend event (even if you didn’t race).

• Sunday Sailors Series is 5 races from October through early December. A hearty group of racers participate and race for fun and trophies.

In addition, we co-sponsor the Seal Beach to Dana Point Race, co-sponsor the Outlaw Regatta, and host races for the SCYA Midwinter Regatta.

All boats participating in races must be members of a yacht club. Seal Beach Yacht Club has a unique Race Only membership for those yachtsmen who ONLY want to race their boat. Ask our membership person for more details.
