The main mission of Southern California Yacht Racing Group is to increase sailing participation through racing and education. We strive to ensure that all sailors, regardless of skill level have an equal opportunity to participate and learn about the sport of sailboat racing. Our goal is to make sure that sailors can compete in a safe environment and maintain high levels of sportsmanship.

Our regattas are free of charge to the sailors and a local charity benefits after each race through our group of sponsors.

Our races utilize the ORA handicapping system which, we believe allows for a much more level competition.
