Description
Club races are held on Saturday afternoons, with the first division starting at 2:00 pm. Races are open to all sailors who are members of a Yachting Australia (YA) accredited sailing club. Races are conducted in accordance with the issued sailing instructions (SI).

Races are divided into Pointscore and Championships series that are separate competitions based on handicap and scratch results. The Club sails two races back-to-back each Saturday. Each race lasts about an hour and the Club aims to have all sailors ashore between 4:30 and 5:00. Races are held in the middle of the West Lake section of Lake Burley Griffin. Boats are divided into various classes that start at different times and compete amongst themselves.

The Club's Championship series consists of 8 races sailed over 4 afternoons. To allow for windless days and/or inclement weather two Pointscore days are nominated as Championship resail days. The Club's Pointscore series is sailed over 15 Saturdays. Inevitably, one or more Saturdays are lost due to weather. However, the series normally comprises more that 20 races.

On long weekends and days that coincide with major out-of-state regattas, the Club runs Alternate course races. Three or more races are run in an afternoon around trapezoid, figure of eight and other challenging short courses. This allows sailors to practice starting and boat handling skills.

In order to allow as many sailors as possible to participate in Championship races, the Club has developed a team of non-sailing volunteers who man the Committee Boat and safety boats (the Club has 3) on Championship days. The Club also has a roster of sailors who run Pointscore races and do administrative and race support work around the clubhouse. Non-sailing volunteers also assist on Pointscore days.
