Coeur d’Alene Lake has
a long-standing tradition of racing. Some of the lake’s events stretch back a
number of years and have some great stories behind them. Coeur d’Alene Sailing
Association has picked up and continued with these great traditions as well as
starting a few new ones.
Coeur d’Alene Sailing Association
offers a full racing schedule through spring, summer, and early fall. Offering
five racing classes using the PHRF-NW handicap system, there is a class for
everyone. There is a Corinthian fleet, which gives the new racer an opportunity
to join the fun without worrying about complicated rules. In this race only
simple right of way applies. When there are enough boats in a class, we offer
separate starts for one-design boats. We have a Wednesday Night buoy series,
and various long distance and buoy races on Saturdays. After racing
we get together at the Beach House Restaurant for a little socializing.
A
waiver must be
signed and on file with Secretary prior to any boat being allowed to race. This
waiver can be downloaded and mailed in to

or picked up at the Skippers meeting before each race and given
to the race committee personnel.
There is plenty of exciting racing
this year. Come join us. If racing isn’t your style or you would like to get a
closer look, then how about volunteering for the committee boat? We are always
in need of help setting up the course and starting races. No experience
necessary. To volunteer please contact our Chief Race Steward,
Darcy Sinsley. Check the
Race Committee Roster for
openings. This is a great way to be a spectator and support our racers.
We look forward to sailing with you
this summer. If you have any questions, email either
Devon Sinsley or
Dwayne Smith.
