Invitation to Race 2010
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.
This year
we are going to have three Wednesday Night Race Series. In order to get the
most daylight and take advantage of high tides we will start the First March
Winds Series March 10th. We will start the first race at 5:00 pm and
then maintain a 5:30 pm start for all the rest of the Wednesday night races.
The second Wednesday Night Race Series (the Summer Series) will start on May 26th
and the third series (the Fall Series) will start on August 25th.
The
offshore racing season starts on April 21st with the First Coast
Offshore Challenge, a three race series sponsored by SAYC and the North Florida
Cruising Club. Again this year the first two races will be based in
This year
we have scheduled most of the offshore club races we held last year, beginning
with The Monkey’s Uncle race on May 2nd.
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 Navigator’s Challenge in August, Out and
Back in September, Moonrise Race in October, and the Commodore’s Cup Race in November.
After each
race we will assemble at the yacht club to hear the race results and socialize.
A light 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!
