The Double Handed is a standalone race and not part of any series.
The race features a single race, mostly or totally in the broad lake, using LCYC racing marks, government marks, or both.
This race was created in 1986, by Peter Phillips, as a revival of the Single Handed Race that had been created by Hal Grieg and Bob Vitali in 1978. The Single Handed Race was last run in 1978, following years of declining participation and a decision by the Regatta committee that the race was too risky. Phillips decided a race for two would be twice as safe and offer at least half the challenge.
The race is open to any keelboat crewed by two people. There are both JAM and Spinnaker Divisions.
There are Spinnaker and JAM class trophies for this race.
If you would like to come to LCYC before the race, we have a few guest moorings available by reservation; or you could anchor in Sled Runner cove north of the club or off Allen Hill to the south. In either case, please make advance arrangements with the club stewards for a mooring reservation, tie up space for your dinghy, or possible pickup at your anchorage by a club member.
