 Who
and What is LCRC
The Lake Champlain Racing
Conference (LCRC) is an organization sponsored by
local yacht clubs for the purpose of coordinating a
lake-wide yacht racing series.
These races are for keel sailboats, twenty feet and
longer, which are handicapped under a locally
governed Performance Handicap Rating Formula (PHRF).
The fleet is divided into four
spinnaker classes and a non-spinnaker (JAM) class
according to their PHRF rating.
Boats in each class race with individual class
starts and appropriate course lengths.
A variety of boats compete in each class,
offering a diverse yet competitive format. The
series consist of four Saturday regattas held over
the summer sailing season. (See schedule on the
reverse side) Prizes are given
to reward superior results, including the "Cannon"
for the winner in Classes A & B (Division I), the
"Goose" for the overall winner in Classes C & D
(Division II), and the "Hawk" for the top boat in
the JAM fleet.
More than just another
sailboat race!
The
after race parties hosted by the sponsoring clubs
are legendary. The Sailing Center Challenge feast is
planned at the Lake Champlain Community Sailing
Center. The Malletts Bay Boat Club continues it's
traditional Royal Savage Saturday cookout. Valcour
Sailing Club has entertained our racers with a
variety of quality feasts after the Mayor's Cup.
Plans for the party after Odziozo are in the
planning stage. Come and join the fun, LCRC is more
than just another sailboat race.
