Twilight Series starts this Friday



Hello Sailor!

The first SPYC Friday evening Twilight Race is this Friday the 15TH of March.  This series is conducted by the yacht club and is open to the public – you do not need to be a St Petersburg Yacht Club member to participate.  


Evening races every Friday.  We look forward to seeing everyone on the water and up at the SPYC Tiki Bar after the race. Racers get one free drink!  Yippee!  


If you would like to like to crew on a boat for these races, please let me know and I will try to match you up with a skipper. Also, if you are a skipper looking for crew, contact me and I can help.  We have a list of members with a wide variety of experience.   Send me an email.  downwindan@gmail.com

Skippers, go to www.spyc.org to register so your boat will be scored – they need your boat information to find it’s handicap.
