November 2025 SPSA Update

Hello Sailors!

The sailing continues with fun sails, regattas, and cruising events.   When the winds pick up, gather your crews and go sailing!
SPSA has been showing up to regattas all over the bay.  The fall series continued with the races on 10/25 and 11/6, see results.  Both the Oktoberfest and the after party at Nueva Cantina were well attended.  Some members sailed the TSS Rumgatta ,  SPYC MOA , and the Sailing Sisters Regatta and the DIYC Halloween race
Other sailing opportunities exist with the Tuesday group (find them on Whats app).  As well as sailing the pre-race practice events and the Ideal18 'wednesday rumble' with SPSC. And if there's a full moon, you will be sure to see boats out enjoying sailing in the moonlight.
