WRSC One Design Sailing Program
|
| WRSC's public one-design regattas are sanctioned by the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association. Each year WRSC hosts about 12 regattas that are open to sailors from other clubs. |
| Less formal racing takes place on almost every weekend between the beginning of May and the end of October. WRSC's flottilla of race management craft and its complete inventory of marks, flags, and other Race Committee equipment combined with a pool of experienced individuals gives the club excellent capabilities for hosting high quality racing. |
