If you see a group of boats chasing each other around they are probably racing. Definition of a sail boat race: two sailboats going in remotely the same direction. Above are some of the groups you may see out there. If you know how to sail and want to join the fun, call one of the above clubs. Club contact information for is available at www.picya.com. When you reach a club that has a race of interest, ask the head of the race committee about hitching a ride. They do their best. It's a better club image than having a desperate skipper Shanghai an innocent passerby.
