Welcome to The Wildwood Sailing Club Racing & Meal Events Calendar 2024
We would like to thank all the people that participated in the Racing Program in the past. Last year, a few of our members raced in trying conditions (no wind & rain) and helped to resume our racing program and raise it from the Covid ashes. All members are encouraged to come out this year and join the racing fun. It is a fully handicapped racing system where anyone can win. The racing program parallels the dinner program with meals after every race or rally. It’s a good way to mix and mingle with the members you have yet to meet at the club. We hope to see you there.
Dinners and Fireside Chats will also be continued this year. Dinners are a sit down Pot Luck event in the pavilion (everyone brings a salad or dessert), while the fireside chats are usually hot dogs or burgers served at the fire pit (provided by the club).
The Racing Program will be having the 4 events this year. Please check the following schedule for racing event and dinner dates and add these events to your personal calendar.

All boats are given a handicap score from the Portsmouth handicap system and are then adjusted accordingly by their captains’ and the boats’ performance. This handicap system is the standard that is used for club racing throughout the world. This will give all boats a fair competitive chance.
We encourage all members to come and participate. You can also come out and watch, maybe participate in the timing of the other members racing or help setup the race course. You should definitely join the meal festivities. Either way; come out and enjoy these events in the 2024 sailing season.
