Friday Night Beer Can Racing with Austin Yacht Club

Set sail into the weekend with a local favorite: Beer Can Racing at the Austin Yacht Club on Lake Travis!

These casual, just-for-fun Friday night sailboat races are open to sailors of all skill levels.

Boats line up near the club docks and race around a short course on the sparkling lake — no official start horn, no protests, just good times and great wind.

Bring your crew or hop on as rail meat — many boats welcome extra hands.

After the race, stick around for cold drinks and socializing on the dock. It’s an unbeatable way to unwind, catch the breeze, and enjoy Austin’s vibrant sailing community.
