Castine Classic Yacht Race
31 July 2025
The Castine Yacht Club is sponsoring the 26th annual Castine Classic Yacht Race from Castine to Camden on Thursday, July 31. This 19.4nm race will be the first of three day races in conjunction with the Camden Classic Yacht Race to Brooklin and the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta. The preliminary Sailing Instructions are posted here. This race will be governed by the Rules as defined in The Racing Rules of Sailing. The Rules of the 2025 CYOA Classic Yachts Challenge Series, except as may have been modified herein or by the Sailing Instructions, will apply for boats participating in that Series. The Rules of the 2025 CYOA Classic Yachts Challenge Series may be found at 2025 CYCS Notice of Series.
Spirit of Classic Yacht Races: These three races epitomize the best of sportsmanship and safe sailing. They are “fun” races of old, priceless, classic yachts, many of which do not regularly race competitively. In this spirit, all skippers are expected to sail conservatively and avoid dangerous situations. Indicate your intentions and, if in doubt, give way.
To assist us in planning these events, please register by July 22nd. To register for the Camden Classic Yacht Race to Brooklin or for the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta, please refer to camdenyachtclub.org and eggemogginreachregatta.com, respectively. If you have any questions, please contact us.
