A North Star classic! This year, we’ve moved this distance race to the end of August and included it in the Club Championship Series. Good chance that there will be some racing in the dark, which always mixes things up! Come party at the club afterward.

According to lore, Bill Sloman always wanted a race that allowed the possibility of the slowest boat finishing first. He had a vested interest since his boat was the slowest. This race honors him and others with slower boats by starting in a staggered fashion according to the performance ratings. This, in theory, should have all the boats finishing at the same time! (Luckily, this rarely occurs!) Everyone needs to follow their watches carefully!!

This race is the first of the Fall Series, but open to all who wish only to do one race to finish the year. The race format is for a longer race, with many mark roundings. If you can't make the entire series, this is a good alternative. This year, the race is included in the Club Championship Series, making it your last chance to take your shot!

The change of season always brings a wide range of weather conditions to this series, usually including abundant wind! NSSC can arrange for boat slips for out-of-town boats, available first come, first served. The galley is open for breakfast, and the club house is always humming after the race, where food, beverages, and great sailing stories are always abundant. This year, we will run as many as two windward/leeward races on days 2 and 3, increasing the planned number of races in the series to six. And, of course, there will be flags for each race.
The Club Championship Series is open to NSSC boats and consists of races of various distances throughout the sailing season. Take your shot at being named Club Champion! The series includes the Boston-Yachtsman Regatta, the Past Commodore’s Race, and the Howard Boston Memorial Race.
