Racing Eligibility & Registration

Thank you very much for considering racing with the Islander 36 fleet. To be eligible to race with us, you need to:

1. Race Entry & Fees for the YRA and ODCA are available at: http://www.yra.org/racing/docs/yra_entry_form.pdf A PHRF certificate is NOT necessary to race with the Islander fleet in our regular racing season. You can send an email with questions to: info@yra.org.

However, if you wish to race in a PHRF section of races sponsored by other yacht clubs you will need a PHRF certificate, and you will need to include a copy of your PHRF rating form with your application for their races. Measurement information for an Islander 36 to apply for a PHRF Certificate is listed at the bottom of this page.

2. Be a current member of a yacht club. (http://www.sfsailing.com/yachtclubs.shtml)

3. Be a current member of the Islander 36 association http://www.islander36.org/i-36appl.html

4. Get your boat measured by our fleet measurer. If you haven't been previously measured (once is enough!), contact our Measurer Kit Wiegman (510) 522-9800, or wiegman-aerial@sbcglobal.net) to schedule your boat measurement so you can get a Measurement Certificate. You can check out the mesurement requirements and process at Racer Certification
