The Beercan Races are a fun and (relatively) casual racing series held on Fridays and one Saturday throughout the sailing season. Each event is followed by a PARTY at the locations stated below. Food and beverages are complimentary to SCSC members. BYOB.
The Rum Party is the highlight of this series!
All members are welcome to attend races, and all Casual Race or Race boats may compete. All members and prospective members are welcome at the parties afterward.
Casual Race boats not participating in Yacht of the Year (YOY) events may race in division 5 or in the associated Race fleet according to handicap assignments. Additional details about racing can be found in the rules.
All parties will be held on “The Point” at the St. Croix Marina unless stated otherwise below. Click here for the location of “The Point”. Event locations shown as TBD will be updated as soon as a venue has been confirmed. Scroll all the way down this page for tips on hosting a party. The club will reimburse picnic expenses up to $200 for Beer Can Parties.
