The Gig
Harbor Yacht Club has an active sailboat program that
includes both racers and cruisers. Our membership
includes many very experienced sailors in both
categories. The Gig Harbor Yacht Club sponsors two
major sailboat races each year. The Islands Race is
part of the Southern Sound Series held each winter, and
the Lemans Race is one of the most popular events in
this area. The Lemans Race features a unique start, in
which boats are at anchor with sails down and the crew
below decks. At the start, crews scramble topsides,
hoist sails, and race out the mouth of Gig Harbor.
Several
lower-key events are held each year, including the Jack and Jill
Race in September and the May and August Thursday Evening
Series, held within the confines of Gig Harbor.

Additionally, the Gig Harbor Yacht Club sponsors

and the casual sailor.
