STYC “Three Buoy Fiasco” (formerly Spring Race) May 14
The Sloop Tavern Yacht Club is
collaborating with the Port Madison Yacht Club to bring you an entirely different format, and exciting new course for this year's Spring Race. In a respectful nod to our Bay area friends and with their motion of approval, we’re delivering a “fiasco” race to the Puget Sound officially calling it the STYC “Three Buoy Fiasco.” This is not just your average clock-wise vs. counter- clockwise event… The course will be three marks with the start at Shilshole and the competitors may decide the best order and direction to round each mark. The start will have scheduled pursuit style start times based on PHRF ratings. Plus there is a new mid-sound course selected to interest sailors on each side of the Puget Sound. PMYC is assisting in recruitment of West Sound boats. In addition to class awards, competitors will be able to race for their side of the sound and receive the West side vs. East side perpetual trophy. Awards party will be held after the event at Ballard Sails. So whether you’re sailing for your individual team, club, or region, please come be a part of this inaugural event and be part of history. Please go to
www.styc.org to see the details and revised Notice of Race. We hope you’re up for the new course, increased tactical challenges and a great time. So, which way are you going to go?
Sperry Top-Sider NOOD Regatta Series May 20-22
The largest and most storied sailboat
racing tour in the United States, the Sperry Top-Sider NOOD (National Offshore One Design) Regatta series, is set to arrive in Seattle, on May 20-22. Seattle is the fourth stop on the eight-city tour, with roughly 1,000 sailors hitting the waters of Puget Sound to contend for the event’s top prize – a trip to the British Virgin Islands to compete in the Sperry Top-Sider NOOD Championships. The overall winner in Seattle will
be invited to participate in the Sperry Top-Sider NOOD Championships in the British Virgin Islands at the end of the season to compete aboard Sunsail 39s against the other overall winners in the 2011 series. Last year, Michael Johnson of
Edmonds, WA, finished in first place in the J/24 boat class to claim the overall win on Puget Sound. Johnson and crew are expected to defend their title at the 2011 regatta. The 2011 Sperry Top-Sider Seattle
NOOD Regatta, co-hosted by the Seattle Yacht Club and Corinthian Yacht Club, will feature three days of racing for keelboats, while centerboard classes are only scheduled to participate on Saturday and Sunday, May 21 & 22. For more information on the 2011
