2026 Racing Events
2026 Ning Po Race Series
Our 2026 Race Series is named after the infamous pirate ship Ning Po. After a legendary career spanning almost two centuries and the entire Pacific Ocean, the Ning Po was finally towed to Cat Harbor and grounded near Ballast Point, where her old bones rest to this day.
The dates for the series are:
May 9, 2026 - Random Leg Race
June 6-7, 2026 - Race to Two Harbors and Back
July 18, 2026 - Random Leg Race
The inverted start format is designed to be a fun entry point into sailboat racing. We hope to appeal to both seasoned skippers looking for a fun Saturday series, as well as new sailors and crewmembers who simply want an excuse to get out on the water.
To increase the awesomeness, a series of classes on racing will be taught by our very own Steve Aichele before each race.
2026 Buccaneer Classics
Almost as old and storied as the Ning Po are the Buccaneer Yacht Clubs three annual one-off races:
The Valentines Day Weekend Couples (and Crew!) Race
Our club’s birthday celebration: The Bucon Feast and Race.
Everyone is welcome at these three fun weekend races. Come out to celebrate the sea the Buccaneer way: racing, fun, friendship, and probably some booze and hamburgers.
