“Take Your Time Fridays” Begin June 3rd
Sloop Tavern Yacht Club and
Corinthian Yacht Club have joined forces to bring an informal Friday night sailing series this summer featuring a Golf Handicap rating system- Take Your Time Fridays. Utilizing the same format as last year, TYT Fridays will feature a short course around fixed marks in Shilshole Bay. Handicaps will be adjusted weekly, if you win your handicap goes down, if you lose your handicap goes up. Starting on GPS time, competitors will record their own finish times and submit these times to the STYC website, races will be scored the following Monday. The concept of this Friday night
series is to encourage casual friendly competition for cruiser/live-aboard type boats as well as the usual race participants who frequent the racing scene. This year CYC's clubhouse will be open immediately after sailing each week, featuring a no host bar and BBQ for competitors. Go to
