‘Round Island Race

The Fishers Island Yacht Club is pleased to be hosting the 63rd Annual ‘Round Island Race this year. Held by many to be the crowning glory of the summer racing season, the RIR is always held on the Saturday prior to Labor Day. While the wind and the weather are somewhat unpredictable year to year, the RIR afterparty is a guaranteed hit so don’t miss the opportunity to circumnavigate Fishers Island and then relax, dark and stormy in hand, with friends new and old under the FIYC tent.

Registration closes on August 26, 2019.
