Offshore (ocean) racing has a long and storied history in San Francisco Bay, and the YRA is proud to be part of the ongoing legacy. We offer an 8 race series each year, that takes boats out the Golden Gate and into the waters along the California coast.

Safety at Sea Seminars
In order to participate in YRA offshore races, the skipper and at least 30% of the crew must have a current US Sailing Safety at Sea Certification.
The YRA often holds in-person Offshore Safety at Sea Courses, and both the 4 hour and 8 hour courses can be taken online through US Sailing at any time.
