TUESDAY AFTERNOON RACES – Every TUESDAY afternoon from July 13th - August 17th the club hosts a race beginning with skippers meeting at 1pm.

Skipper's meeting: This will be an informative session and is meant for all racers and race officials ( youths interested in officiating ). This includes all sailors taking part in the afternoon lessons as well as any interested sailors from around the lake who would like to learn about racing and/or race officiating. All sailors are welcome to stick around after the races for hotdogs, fun with friends and a game of Volleyball.

SATURDAY CLUB RACES –MASTERS CLASS: Members, non-members, with or without a boat, mark these dates on your calendars to come to the ZigZag Yacht Club to race, to watch or volunteer. We are planning a Skippers meeting at 11am for these races and are hoping all of our club boats and many private sailboats will join us for a fun afternoon of racing and socialising and preparing for the Club Championship. July 17th and Aug 7th, 2010

ZZYC CLOSED CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP – Saturday, August 14th starting with the skippers meeting at 1:30pm . This has become a great regatta for all sailors at ZZYC. It is for members only and in the hopes of encouraging a few more of our ‘older' members to join in we are introducing a Masters Class' for 2010.
This is a great chance for kids and adults alike to get a taste of sailing and racing and a fun way to end the summer at ZZYC.
This race is followed by our very popular Family BBQ and Family Kayak Race which mark the end of the season at ZZYC. We would like to once again encourage all members to come out and watch the races, do a little kayaking, cheer on our sailors and enjoy some friendly competition.
