2015-16 Preliminary Season Results

The final race of the season turned out to be a great day with plenty of wind!  We finished the season off with a good long course which the boats ate up in no time at all.  Thanks to Desiderata for taking one for the team staying at anchor to RC the race on such a beautiful sailing day.  Preliminary season results have been posted.  Please forward any errors, issues or questions to the race.committee.chair@spsa.us as soon as possible so these can be finalized.

The annual “Couples Regatta” is next on deck scheduled for 5/21… please register ASAP so we can get the food ordered.  Stay tuned for the summer “fun” schedule including the very popular sail to beer can island.   And don’t forget to Renew Your Membership !!!

Finally, a call for volunteers… If you’re at all interested in helping out or getting more involved with the club, please contact Richard Boler, commodore@spsa.us and let him know ASAP as we start planning for the next season soon.
