Rules and Start Sequence

Here's a chart to help you follow our five-minute Lake Pleasant start sequence. If you're interested in racing but have never tried it, consider crewing first or sign up for the ASF Introduction to Sailboat Racing class.

Many racing documents are Adobe Reader pdf files. If you don't have an Adobe Reader on your computer, you can get one free by clicking on the Acrobat logo below. If you've never downloaded a program like this and are concerned about trying it, click here for our "how to" page. It's easy. Really.

Arizona Yacht Club Fleets

Arizona Yacht Club has several fleets, each active with many boats and good sailors. The fleets include:

We have two scheduled race series at Lake Pleasant in the spring and fall of each year, plus the annual Birthday Regatta in January. Small boats race at Tempe Town Lake, with races running nearly year-round.

Each Lake Pleasant series contains five race weekends and we normally get in five to six races each weekend, depending on wind. Races begin at 12:30 p.m. on Saturdays and at 9 a.m. on Sundays. See the calendar for schedules.

Lake Pleasant is less than one hour north of central Phoenix. If you've never been there, plan more than an hour to get your boat ready, in the water, and all the way to the starting line. Here are directions to Lake Pleasant.

Tempe Town Lake Marina is plunked down in the middle of metro Phoenix, bordered on the north by Route 202. Here's more information and directions on how to get there.
