St. Petersburg Sailing Association
Hello Sailors,
I am so looking forward to the beginning of our race season next month. Here’s what happening:
We revised the 2023-24 schedule again. We moved the Commodore’s Cup to the Spring and adjusted the November Fall Season Race to avoid conflict with the Egmont Key Race. And here is the exciting part of the revised schedule, we added a Racing Rules Seminar to take place on Wednesday September 13th beginning at 6PM at the Sailing Center.This seminar will be a great introduction to all newer sailors and a great overview for veteran sailors as well.RSVP to the Racing Rules Seminar by replying to this email,secretary@spsa.us, please include the number of attendees in your party.This is a no cost opportunity. Pizza and drinks will be served.
Our Annual Meeting and St Petersburg Sailing Association/SPYC Twilight Awards Banquet, will take place on Friday September 8th at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club. Tickets sales are closed at this time, but if interested please contact secretary@spsa.us to check ticket availability.
