Test it Then Bust It

The Geartester is an early season version of Indian Harbor’s notorious Gearbuster sailed in October. The race varies in length of between 20 and 30 nautical miles depending on conditions. Divisions may include fully-crewed, double-handed, non-spinnaker, PHRF +1, and one design. While individually scored, special prizes are awarded to the best performing boats in the combined Geartester/Gearbuster. The Geartester is also a qualifying race for the YRA’s Windigo, Sagola, du Moulin, Kings Point and Mertz Trophies! 

Competitors are invited back to Indian Harbor following the race for a barbecue on the Club’s South Patio. Complimentary moorings will be available from noon Friday to noon Sunday. See NOR for more details.

This year will mark the 69th edition of this classic 46nm race. Run annually the Saturday of Columbus Day weekend, competitors typically race to Stratford Shoal and back.

Racing includes fully crewed and double-handed divisions plus a shorter 19nm course for non-spinnaker divisions.

The nickname “Gearbuster” attests to the usually boisterous weather we enjoy in October.
