IMG_0152IMG_0145IMG_0129IMG_7595

Schedule:
Taal Lake Yacht Club’s core racing program is bi-monthly racing every Second and fourth Sunday of the month. The official Notice Of Race (NOR) is in the Race Documents section.  We usually have between 8 and 15 Ozgeese on Second Sundays and Hobie 16s on fourth Sunday, A smaller number of other boats come out to practice too.

Wind:
The Easterly “Amihan” blows from November thru April. The Best racing is November and December, with wind really blowing in January and February.  March and April usually have nice wind as well.
In May the wind is usually light and a not steady.
The “Habagat” or Westerly wind comes In June or July, and lasts through  September or October.

The Club Championship is run throughout the year.

Classes:
The Hobie 16 is the primary racing class on fourth Sundays and Ozgoose on Second Sundays, but if there are other classes that have 3 or more boats, we will generally set up a start for them, and award prizes.
We also have “Practice” for other boats that want to sail, or practice starting together, if there is enough interest. There are no awards or placing for the “practice” but they have their own start and a simple course. Practice sessions frequently run on Saturdays as well as Youth Training.
