Welcome to Racing at the Beverly Yacht Club!

This summer, we’re looking forward to continuing our longstanding reputation as a respected yachting organization, now in our 151st year. From the Club’s first regatta in 1872 with ten catboats and a sloop, to all the racing we presently conduct, the friendly competitive spirit among BYC sailors has endured from the start. Today we host weekly series races along with special events and regattas from the end of May and into the fall each season. Whether you’re looking to compete in a PHRF racing or cruising class, or as part of a one-design fleet, BYC’s racing program has something for everyone. Contact BYC’s Race Chair at racing@beverlyyachtclub.org for more information.
