The Maine Yacht Racing yearbook is out! The yearbook contains summaries, results, and photos from last year's races; this year's schedule; an overview of racing rules; and tips on finding crew, finding a ride, and other stuff important to racers. Maine Yacht Racing has been mailed to anyone who has held a valid PHRF certificate in the last three years.

Gulf of Maine Racing News is sent weekly (more or less) during racing season to Gulf of Maine sailors. It is sent a little less often during the off-season. Suggestions are welcome. Forward this along to crew, fellow sailors, or anyone else who might be interested. Please send ideas/suggestions/comments and any additions/deletions/revisions to the mailing list to maineyachtracing@verizon.net. Click here for GMORA News Archives
