Racing Fleets

Auxiliary / Keelboat Fleet

The most varied fleet at RCYC, PHRF handicap racing open to all keelboats.

About the Fleet

Keelboats of All Kinds

The Aux fleet is the most diverse at Rush Creek, from Melges 24s to O'Day 28s and everything between. PHRF handicap racing levels the playing field, so any competitive keelboat can race and win. Whether you're a seasoned offshore racer or just stepping into keelboat sailing, the Aux fleet has a place for you.

April through September, we race Wednesday nights in the legendary Beer Can series. Come for the racing, stay for the camaraderie on the deck afterward. Rush Creek is a member of the Lake Ray Hubbard PHRF Committee.
