Racing



Herrington Harbour Sailing Association's Racing is an ideal program for both novice and experienced sailors.  HHSA Racing promotes friendly competition while testing the skills of the skipper and crew. 

Set on Herring Bay in the middle Chesapeake just outside of Washington, DC, we offer a wide range of races.  Each week from May to September, we run Wednesday Night Races from our 360 degree course book.  On weekends, our races are longer and include destination races for overnighting.

HHSA's racing fleets include Spinnaker, Non-Spinnaker Cruising, and Non-Spinnaker Racing. Starts have three to ten boats on the line.  We also track the results of our Shorthanders (single or doublehanded boats). This provides racing to fit your boat and your crew.

HHSA is a member of US Sailing and a member club of Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association. Races are governed by US Sailing's Racing Rules of Sailing, 2021-2024 (RRS).  These affiliations provide eligibility for CBYRA High Point Awards
