Invitation to Race 2009
Everyone
is invited to join us for a great year of racing. Our races are open to all
Sailors. Non-Club Members have a special invitation to come enjoy friendly
racing and socializing. If you are new to racing this is the perfect
opportunity for you to get started. We have a terrific group of sailors who are
great sports and will be happy to help you join in the competition.
Again this
year we are going to have two Wednesday Night Race Series. In order to get the
most daylight and take advantage of high tides we will start the First Series
March 25th. We will maintain a 5:30 pm start for all the Wednesday
night races. The second Wednesday Night Race Series will start on July 15th.
The
offshore racing season starts on April 1st with the First Coast
Offshore Challenge, a three race series sponsored by SAYC and the North Florida
Cruising Club. This year the first two races will be based in
This year
we have scheduled all of the offshore club races we held last year, beginning
with The Monkey’s Uncle race on May 3rd. Carter and
Brenda Quillen sponsor this race every year, and it
is always a terrific time and great start to the local offshore racing series. We
will also have the Race of the Century in May, Father’s Day Regatta in June, Liberty
Race in July, the Full Moon Regatta in August, Moonrise Race in September, and
the Out and Back and Commodore’s Cup Races in October and November.
After each
race we will assemble at the yacht club to hear the race results and socialize.
A pasta dinner is available after the Wednesday Night Races, and a full dinner
is normally available after the offshore races.
Please join us for another fun-filled season of racing!
