BBYRA welcomes you to join us for many
hours of great fun sailboat racing.
BBYRA runs two races each month, one for the
One Design classes and the other for the PHRF, Cruising and J24 classes.
There are opportunities for everyone whether you own a boat or just like to
sail, or just want to get out on the water. There is no better place in
the world to sail than here on Biscayne Bay. Each winter, we are literally
overrun with sailors from all over the world who come here to take advantage of
our fair breezes, moderate temperatures and beautiful waters.
Owners
If you have a sailboat and you want to participate in BBYRA events you can
join by filling out the
online.
There is a membership fee to join which is prorated after March 31st of each
year. PHRF boats are required to have a PHRF certificate from
SEFL PHRF. The PHRF rating
determines which class you will sail in and then we can put you in touch with
your Fleet Captain who can help you get started.
The ARF (assigned ratings fleet) is for sailors who want to start off in a more
relaxed, less competitive environment. You do not have to have a PHRF
certificate for this class and ratings are adjusted on a regular basis for fair
play. The ARF fleet has been growing over the past couple of years and we are
expecting good turnouts on the water.
We have established One Design fleets which
include : Etchells, Flying Scots, Lightning's, Lasers, and Snipes. We
encourage participation from other fleets but through experience we have found
that there should be at least five registered to ensure a minimum of three on
the starting line. You might want to contact US Sailing Center Miami or
Shake A Leg
for other sailing opportunities.

Crew
You can also join by filling out a
Crew Registration
.
When you fill this form out we add your info to our
Crew List on the web. Many times boats can't sail for lack of crew.
The level of experience varies on individual boats but don't let that stop you
from registering. On the other hand, if you are interesting in
taking a sailing course you may want to contact Coconut Grove Sailing Club or Castle Harbor
Sailing School.
Having read this, we know your interested and
we've saved a spot for you on the starting line. Come out and enjoy the
camaraderie that you can only get with other sailors. Please e-mail
