Join us in Larchmont on October 30 or online on October 24 to find out why 50 boats are already registered for the best sailing week of the year!
Block Island Race Week welcomes all types of sailors!
Whether you’re a Grand Prix racer in the ORC Open Class or a family cruiser in the PHRF Performance Cruising Class, there’s a spot for you. This includes Multihulls, Classics, and Double-handers, provided your boat is a minimum of 22 feet LOA with a PHRF rating of 177 or faster, or a CRF rating of 24 or faster. Check our Notice of Race for complete eligibility details.
We’re thrilled to announce that the J/109s will be vying for their East Coast Championships, with nine J/105s signed up as well.
We know sailors can’t stop having fun, even after the races! We’ve observed friendly kite surfers and wing foilers enjoying the recreation zone after the competition, along with some MarkSetBot races along the docks at Champlin’s Marina.
Storm Trysail Club’s Block Island Race Week celebrates the sport, friendship, and enjoyment.
Is Block Island Race Week on your list of must-do events? Or for a friend?
We are preparing for the race’s 60th anniversary, first held in 1965, and we hope to see you there! If you’re already a veteran, encourage a friend to join you! From your yacht club, weeknight racing group, or dock neighbors.
Each day will feature a variety of races—two to three buoy races in the racing circles, or one long-distance race for the Performance Cruising Class. The fun continues each evening under the tent with food, drinks, and plenty of racecourse stories to share.
Want more information? Or know someone who should?
Getting to the racecourse and Block Island requires planning and logistics, so come find out what’s involved.
Join us for a Zoom seminar this Thursday, October 24 at 8:00 PM, or an In-Person Presentation on October 30 at the Larchmont Yacht Club at 6:00 PM.
Race Chair Ty Anderson and other speakers will discuss logistics, racing options, and everything that makes Block Island Race Week unique. A Q&A session will follow, so bring your questions!
Can’t attend live? No problem! We’ll record the session for later viewing, but joining live is always better.
