Good Old Boat Regatta
Location: St. Pete Date: Saturday, January 23rd, 2010 plus an informal social on Friday! Time: 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm Event Contact: bay_woof@yahoo.com Event Forms & Applications: Notice of Race Entry Form
The St. Petersburg Sailing Association will host its first-ever Good Old Boat Regatta the weekend of January 23, 2010, with an informal social event beginning on the evening of Friday, January 22, before the race. By race day on Saturday, the 23rd the club expects to generate fond memories, wild exaggerations, and suspicious scuttlebutt aplenty . . . certainly enough to last until the second annual event in 2011. In spite of being run in an organized way by a genuine race committee, this will be a fun race for all. Protests won't happen. If winter's beginning to drag you down already, consider this: the average January St. Pete air temperature is 70 degrees and the average wind is 9 knots.... If you sail a good old boat, plan to attend this event. Bring your own or come crew on someone else's boat. In the best tradition of Good Old Boat Regattas, we anticipate boat-boasting, partying, and fun for all. You are expected to tell wild tales such as how you found your boat sunk under 100 feet of water, swam it to the surface, and completely restored it for less than $10. You will be required to provide tours of your vessel and to brag about the world-class races it won in its day. You may even be called upon to name the famous previous owners. (Who'll know? It's your story. Tell 'em you're stickin' to it.) Participating boats will be placed in logical divisions and race around fixed navigation aids. Typical courses are 7 to 12 miles. Interested? Send an email message to Steve Lang at bay_woof@yahoo.com with questions and to get on the "who's coming" list.

The St Petersburg Sailing Association and the University of South Florida/St. Petersburg Waterfront are proud to announce that the Windship Regatta is once again scheduled to come to Tampa Bay this spring on April 24th. This regatta supports the educational and recreational programs at The Waterfront, which includes learn to sail programs, kids’ summer camps, keelboat sailing lessons, and many more programs that encourage folks to get out on the water. This year, the regatta proceeds are focusing on rebuilding the Waterfront’s 31 year old J24 and to provide the opportunity to purchase a second J24 to support these programs. Join us immediately following the racing for dinner and results at the USF St. Petersburg Waterfront. See the Sailing Instructions for further details.
