The Lagoon & The Race
Sailing
Pick your course. Pick your weather. Set sail.
We race a different course every weekend. Tap a course below to see the marks, the line and the difficulty.
Windward / Leeward
Classic two-mark course. Beat upwind to the windward mark, run downwind to the leeward gate. Repeat for laps. The bread-and-butter of fleet racing.

Sailing Conditions
What we look for before we launch.
🌬
Wind
5–15 knots is the sweet spot. Below 4 it's a drifter. Above 20 we head to the pub.
🌊
Tide
Mid-to-high tide gives the most water and a fairer race. Low tide exposes the shallows.
🏊
People
If swimmers are on the water we move courses east or postpone. Always.
