Racing at OSC


​The Otsego Sailing Club, OSC, has a proud tradition of weekend racing and invitational regattas dating back over 50 years.  Presently we have three active fleets, Thistles, Flying Scots, and Lasers.  We also have many Sunfish at the club and a spirited group of cruisers who have a competitive series of races during the summer.   
All are welcome to get out on the water on Saturdays and Sundays
starting Memorial Day through early September.  We offer class and handicap racing and a supportive environment for sailors of all abilities.
​
  See you on the water!


OSC Members sail boats from other classes as well, both competitively and for pleasure.
​We also have a very active Cruiser contingent sailing for pleasure,
​also in the 'Handicap' Cruiser racing series.
