Hello Sailors!
The regatta season is off to a good start. SPSA boats are showing up to regattas around the bay. The SPSA Fall Series started one race, the other was ABD due to weather, post-race was at the Big Catch. SPSA Boats raced the BYC Kickoff Regatta /pics, SPYC Fall Bay Race, and the TSS Rumgatta /pics. The SPSA Dolphin Cruisers anchored out in Gulfport for the first event. See below for updates on events, regatta registrations, socials, etc.
