One-Design Sailing at Crescent Sail Yacht Club |
| One-design racing has been a strong tradition at Crescent Sail Yacht Club throughout the club's 65-year history. The club's oldest and largest one-design fleets are Thistles, Snipes, and Lightnings. The fleets, along with other Crescent one-design classes, compete in club races on Wednesday evenings and Sundays from mid-May to early October. The races are held at the club and include separate starts for Thistles, Lightnings, Snipes, Tornado and Nacra multihulls, Cal 20s, Flying Scots and Stars. |
| Other one-design classes represented at Crescent include
Cal
25s, Express 27s, Lasers, S2 7.9s, Tartan 10s, International Etchells, and Melges 24.
These classes compete in many different regatta series including Crescent’s Monday
Night Double-Handed Series and Grosse Pointe Farms Thursday night series. Crescent is also
an active member and participant in DRYA regattas and races. Junior Program fleets
include Optimist, Laser, Flying Junior, and 420. Fall sailing includes Laser frostbiting while the winter months find Crescent sailors traveling to one-design regattas in the south or competing in iceboats in the midwest or northeast.
