Cedar Point offers racing programs in a number of different types of boats. Although membership is required to skipper a boat on a regular basis in many of our programs, crewing on members' boats is almost always open to non-members and skippering in some of the programs is open to participation by non-members as noted below. Follow the link for any of the classes of boats below to that fleet's webpage. Information and the email address of the Fleet Captain is available there to find out more about racing at Cedar Point.
