About Sequoia Racing
The Sequoia Yacht Club hosts 52 days of scheduled racing each plus additional on and off-the-water events throughout the year. Click on individual race series links below or download a copy of the 2020 racing program flyer here to learn more.
While competitive, the goal of racing at Sequoia is to foster sportsmanship, friendship and seamanship. There is often a barbeque or dinner after each race where racers can gather to discuss race tactics, the wind, the currents and winning/losing strategies over a beer.
The major series sponsored by Sequoia Yacht Club includes:
- Redwood Cup Pursuit Series - Davis King
- Winter Series - Jeff Stine
- Single/ Double-handed Racing - Anja Bog
- Wednesday Night Sunset Race Series - Mark Wommack
- Summer Series - TBA
Sequoia also sponsors a number of other events, some of which are held in conjunction with PICYA, including:
- Spring Tune-up - Andrew Rist
- Moonlight Marathon - TBA
- Westpoint Regatta - Peter Weigt
- Hannig Cup - Ted Hannig/Mark Wommack
- Barth Memorial Regatta - TBA
- South Bay Championship - TBA
- Corkscrew Slough Regatta - Larry Mayne
See the individual racing pages for more details on each of these races. The club extends a warm welcome to any non-members who wish to join.
