SPSA is excited to announce that we have combined operations with the Dolphin Cruising Club of Tampa Bay to form our new Dolphins Cruising program! The Dolphins Cruising Club is a storied organization with a 30-year history of promoting cruising across Tampa Bay. Much like SPSA, they have always been a ‘virtual’ club that is welcoming and easy to join, with a similar dues schedule to SPSA. They run a fun and dynamic event calendar and are a great group of people.

This year, in the interest of improving efficiency and growing both organizations, we have begun a trial period where the Dolphins Cruising Club will cease independent operations. In its place, the Dolphins legacy will live on through the new SPSA Dolphins Cruising program, offering a full cruising events calendar in addition to our previously existing race program and social events. We have also created a new “Cruising Chair” board position to lead this program. This initiative aligns perfectly with our mission, which is the same as ever:

The St. Petersburg Sailing Association has been formed to encourage participation in the noble art of sailing and to organize such events to further that end.

There is really something for everyone in SPSA! Whether you are interested in cruising, racing, or just like sailing, there’s never been a better time to become a member.
