    Moonlight Madness Race

    Time: Sunset (approx. 6:30pm)

    Information: 

    Chase the sunset and sail into the glow of twilight! Boats will race from Buoy #4 out to the Farewell Buoy and back, turning a simple out-and-back course into something unforgettable as the sky shifts from gold to indigo.

    This event is open to both sailboats and powerboats, so whether you race under canvas or cruise with horsepower, you’re invited to join the fun.

    With a sunset start and slack tide, expect smooth sailing and great breeze — perfect for trimming sails, calling tactics, and enjoying the magic of racing as navigation lights begin to sparkle across the water.

    It’s a fun, slightly adventurous evening on the Laguna Madre — part race, part sunset cruise, and all LMYC camaraderie.
