Racing
One place for the calendar, the courses and results. Racing runs on Saturdays from early October to Easter: a handicap start most weeks, scratch starts for championships, and both results published.
Results
Handicap and scratch results, published together. Results are imported, never retyped.

The courses
Five numbered courses, chosen on the day for the wind. The start areas keep the racing in view of the club and the shore.

| No. 2 Easterly course | Easterly | Off Kurraba Point |
| No. 3 South-Easterly course | South-easterly | Off Robinsons Point |
| No. 4 Southerly course | Southerly | Athol Bay |
| No. 5 Westerly course | Westerly | Athol Bay |
Before your first Saturday

Race flags
What each race signal flag means, including abandonment, delays, course changes and recalls, with the club's PDF.

The scratch start sequence, from the six minute warning to the start, with the club's PDF.
Handicap start signals

How the racing is scored
The club's handicap system and point scoring are published on their own pages: the handicap system and the point scoring system. Where the club's manual and the results platform differ on penalties, discards, ties or handicap adjustment, both versions are published as two sourced pages and the reconciliation sits with the sailing committee.
What the boats race for across a season is set out on the sailing championships page: the club championship over scratch races, the season championship, the spring, summer and autumn point score series, the Australian Championship around the end of January, and Ladies Day, which the club runs as the Queen of the Harbour.
