Sequoia Yacht Club Racing Program
Sequoia Yacht Club hosts a variety of racing events throughout the year. The times and dates can be found on our Race Calendar.
While competitive, the goal of racing at SYC is to foster sportsmanship, friendship and seamanship. There is usually a barbeque or dinner after each race where racers can gather to discuss the wind shifts, bay currents and winning/losing strategies over a beer.
The major series sponsored by Sequoia Yacht Club includes:
- Redwood Cup - Tim Anto
- Winter Series - Richard Butts
- Single/ Double-handed Racing - Anja Bog
- Wednesday Night Sunset Race Series - Tim Anto
- Summer Series - Beth Richard
SYC also sponsors a number of other races, some of which are held in conjunction with PICYA, including:
- St. Patrick's Day Race - Tim Anto
