Genesee Yacht Club has a strong commitment and enthusiasm for Racing.  We are known for our competitive Tuesday Night and Weekend Club Racing.  Weekend Racing consists of Long Distance and Series races.   We also facilitate Informal & informative "Pizza Races" where all can learn the basics of racing or hone racing skills without the pressure of competitive racing.  GYC host two traditional signature races, the Scotch Bonnet and the Women Skippers Invitational.  We also co-host the Hospice Regatta and are a participating club in the South Shore Racing Council.

The Regatta features a day of racing. All proceeds from The Hospice Regatta go to the Hospice Endowment Fund to support delivery of hospice and palliative care services to patients and families in Monroe, Wayne and Seneca counties.  This Fund pays for services for uninsured individuals, provides start-up funds for new services, and covers costs of volunteer assistance, pastoral support, and bereavement counseling.
