Can you believe we’re only 10 days away from our first race at AYC?

We can’t wait to kick off the season with our weekly Spring PHRF and One Design Series, happening Wednesday and Thursday evenings throughout May and June.

Then, later in the month, we’ll be venturing out of the Arm and into Halifax Harbour during the Ice Breaker Regatta on Saturday, May 30. It’s a great way to shake off the rust—just make sure to dress warm!

We’d love to see your boat cross the finish line with us. Find more details and register through the links below.

With 17 boats registered, this was the best-attended Die Hard Race AYC has seen in years! Though the weather was dicey at times (just look at those grey clouds!) it was overall a great day on the water and a perfect way to wrap up the 2025 sailing season.

Congrats to all who made it out!

We've got a fun weekend of racing coming up at AYC!
