YRALIS: Run by Sailors … for Sailors.

 

The Yacht Racing Association of Long Island Sound has been serving local racing sailors for over 100 years.  From organizing championships to rating boats using the latest handicap standards, YRALIS is dedicated to promoting safe, fair and challenging sailboat racing throughout Western Long Island Sound.

Today, we have over 65 member clubs, and nearly a thousand individual members.  Over 700 boats are registered in the PHRF fleet, racing in both spinnaker and non-spinnaker classes.  In addition, there are several offshore one-designs: J-44, J-120, J-35, J-105, J-30, J-92, J-80, Mumm 30s and Express 37s.

Our member clubs and class associations provide inshore one-design competition and support learn-to-sail programs for sailors new to the sport.  Top inshore one-design classes include Vanguard 15s, Etchells, Sonars, Lightnings, Flying Scots, Shields, Lasers, IODs, Ideal 18s and Interclubs. Many of our member clubs also provide learn to sail and racing programs for young sailors, through our affiliate, the Junior Sailing Association of Long Island Sound.
