Sunday Short-Handed Sailing Series (S4)

Sunday Short-handed Sailing Series 2020

June 7, July 19, & Aug 16

Join us for this new event that we are hoping can happen regardless of the COVID19 restrictions S4 would encourage some friendly racing and limit each boat to a maximum of two people (so you can come race with your quarantine buddy). 

S4 races will be white sail only, unless there are enough boats and interest to justify two fleets.
