The excellent club atmosphere provides a great location for after race bragging or complaining. The bar, dining room and veranda are open after all the races.

Excitement, competition, speed, power, strategy, tactics, precision boat handling. That is sailboat racing. And that is racing at the Jackson Yacht Club. JYC offers this off the scenic veranda overlooking the Ross Barnett Reservoir.

The races are run very professionally with an on-the-water volunteer race committee. Click here to sign on as a member or a reserve member of the JYC Racing Committee.

Beer Can Racing

The Beer Can Race was started in 2006 by Past Commodore Ward Reaves and has been maintained by George Ellmore since that time.  This race is very laid-back with one of the main rules being "no protests".  Many serious Racers participate, but if you are more into steering the boat with your toes while you serve wine to your crew, this one is for you.  This Race is held on Wednesday evenings in the summer and on Saturday afternoons after the time change.
