MITNA Dinghy Racing Program

Join the best racing program of New England! MITNA offers many racing opportunities, from learn-to-race to racing with All-Americans, numerous Class Chamions, and even Olympians.

There are three primary racing seasons: Spring, Summer, and Fall

Spring and Fall

Advanced evening racing for hard-core sailors is offered on Monday evenings until sunset, early April through mid May and again from Labor Day through October.

Summer

During the Summer, racing is available many weekday evenings. Races begin in June and run through the last week of August.

Mondays (Summer) Learn to Race		Introduction to Racing class is offered on Monday evenings during the summer, rain or shine. This popular course draws beginning sailors & racers, and many long-time crews looking to move into the back of the boat
Mondays (Spring & Fall) Tuesdays (Summer) Advanced Tech Racing		Advanced racing is hardcore. If you want to rumble and tumble with the best, this is the finest dinghy racing in New England. Ask any MIT sailing coach for their opinion before you step into the lion’s den
Wednesdays		Wednesday evenings are open – come down and start your own series!
Thursdays Team Racing		Team racing is a different format where teams of three boats compete team-on-team. Typically we will sail in FJs, 2 sailors per boat. If you are skilled at skippering and crewing in an FJ then this is a fun format to learn the exciting game of 3 on 3 team racing. Organizers will make up teams before leaving the dock, so don’t hesitate to join if you know the game and don’t have a partner.
Fridays		Friday evenings are open – come down and start your own series!

All of the regattas run by MITNA follow the Racing Rules of Sailing set by World Sailing, as amended by the US Sailing Prescriptions set by US Sailing and the Class Rules of the Intercollegiate Dinghy Class as set by ICSA.
