Duck Island Racing

HELP!!! - DIYC will put on about 65 days of racing in 2012, one of the most active programs in the Eastern Sound. But to do this requires many hands to spread the workload for race committee and post race social activities at the club. If you'd like to volunteer; for race committee contact Rob Lee, for post race social activities Carlene Mills.

In 2010 the race committee began the use of twitter. If you want to be a follower, join us on

at diyc_race for tweets.

DIYC's race committee is committed to providing the best racing in our area. Your assistance and input are greatly appreciated feel free to e-mail me at

An Introduction to Racing Series Continues in 2012

The Duck Island Yacht Club in cooperation with Pilots Point Marina invites new racers into our racing program by offering a start for non spinnaker boats after the Shirley Hall fleet starts on Tuesday nights. The racing will be free for most entrants and we will offer a clinic prior to the first start for anyone interested in racing. This is a really nice opportunity for some novice sailboat owners who are interested in racing, but have felt intimidated at the idea and/or for people who have raced before, but not for a long time and need to get their confidence back. Notice of Race and other detail coming soon for 2010.

One Design Racing

DIYC encourages the formation of one design classes. Gather 5 boats and start a class.

In 2009 CPTV came down and joined us on a Wednesday night race. You can see the video here. Our segment is just a few minutes into the program..
