Ahoy!  The 7^th Annual Raymarine St Petersburg Classic Regatta (aka Good Old Boat Regatta) benefitting “Meals on Wheels”  is only 6 weeks away!   The regatta will be Saturday 1/9/2016  — Enter before 12/9 to get the early registration discount!

This is a premiere sailing event in Tampa Bay. It attracts twenty plus year old boats from the entire west coast of Florida and is one of the most fun sailing events in the Tampa Bay area.  The St. Petersburg Classic Regatta is also a fund raiser for “Meals on Wheels”, a program of “Neighborly Care Services”, an admirable cause that provides nutritious, hot meals, to house-bound elderly folks. Last year, our sponsors and sailors delivered over $20,000 directly to “Meals on Wheels”.  This event is also a competition for the largest contributor. Each boat is asked to make a donation, regardless of how modest. A beautiful perpetual trophy, which is prominently displayed in the Yacht Club, is awarded to the winning boat. Steve Honour and the crew of Shady Lady from the Boca Ciega Yacht Club have won the Good Neighbor Perpetual Trophy for the past four years. They need some competition!  Donations are tax deductible, with a check to “Neighborly Care Services” (place SPRC on the memo line.) They may be mailed in advance to SPSA, PO Box 174, St. Petersburg, FL 33731 or brought to the regatta.
