The Northwest Youth Racing Circuit (NWYRC) is a racing series put on by local clubs and sailing centers. The NWYRC is dedicated to providing youth with the opportunity to compete against junior sailors from other local programs. Sailors ages 8-19 who live in Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia are encouraged to participate. There are typically five regattas which make up the series. These regattas are designed to provide a positive regatta experience for novice-advanced racers. Friendly competition, camaraderie, and great hosts/venues make this series a good time for the whole family. Youth sailors must become a member of the 2024 NWYRC to compete in the NWYRC.
