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.

Message from the Commodore concerning January Series Race results


Dear SPSA Racers,

I have some unfortunate information to tell you all regarding our race last month. We have been unable to locate the paper work that contains the finishing times form the race. There was apparently some misunderstanding of where it would be placed and it has not been found despite a very through search. While your board was not happy about this we do not have many options for correction. We have decided that the January race will not be counted and will not be scored. I apologize for this occurring and as the commodore take the blame for this. We have decided that to prevent this from occurring again we are going to change the record keeping process. Beginning this Saturday Race Committee is instructed to take a picture of the results and email it to the race chairman. Race Committee will also give the original paper results to the race chairman or, if he/she is not available, then to a board member. We are striving to keep mistakes to a minimum but they will occur.  If you have any thoughts or comments on this please direct them to me.

Thank for your understanding. 

Remember our next race is this Saturday.
