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 St. Augustine, followed by a third race from St. Augustine to St. Marys in Georgia. Check out the FCOC2009.com website for more information and to register.

 

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!
