Racing
Sail Fast. Sail Excited.
At True North Sailing Center, we believe the boat you learn on makes all the difference.
Our fleet of J/29 performance keelboats offers the perfect combination of stability, responsiveness, comfort, and sailing performance. Designed by J/Boats—one of the world’s most respected sailboat manufacturers—the J/29 provides students with a true sailing experience that builds confidence and develops real-world skills.
Regional Regattas
In addition to our weekly racing series, club members regularly participate in various regattas and special racing events throughout the New York and New Jersey region. These events provide opportunities to:
- Compete against larger fleets
- Visit different sailing venues
- Build lasting friendships within the sailing community
- Gain experience in a variety of wind and sea conditions
- Represent True North Sailing Center at regional events
- No Racing Experience Necessary
Many of our most enthusiastic racers started with little or no racing experience. New members are welcomed and encouraged to learn from our experienced skippers and crew in a supportive, team-oriented environment.
If you’ve ever wanted to experience the excitement, teamwork, and adrenaline of sailboat racing, there is no better place to begin.
