Commodore’s Cup

Commodore’s Cup – September 29 – 30, 2018

Saturday Party Details

Ahoy, Commodores Cup Contenders Crew and Cruisers

We have once again rented the Hollister Mansion in Prescott and this year and we are opening the doors to the St. Croix Sailing Club for a Saturday evening post-race dinner event sponsored by the SCSC.
The free dinner menu will include Salad, Cheese Platter, Baked Potato, and Grilled Chicken Breast or Grilled Portobello Mushroom.
You can upgrade your dinner with a Rib-eye Steak for $10.00 but you may have to grill it yourself, unless you can find a grill master willing to cook it for you the way you like it. The grill will be hot and ready to go shortly after we reach Prescott and you are all welcome to come explore and enjoy this historic Victorian mansion with us.
The Club will supply pop, wine, and beer from the budget until it runs out, so if you would like to bring an additional bottle to pass, that would be awesome.
The mansion is located on the corner of Locust and Orange just a block up the hill from Scabs Bar.
Hosted by: Dan & Cindy Prochaska, Brad & Amy Lahr, Elijah & Shelly Wayne, Joe & Michelle Marz, & Darek Prochaska

Pursuit Races, 2018

6th Annual SCSC Pursuit Races
Saturday, August 4th at 11:00 hrs

Notice of Race – Sailing Instructions
Start Times

The Pursuit Race is an exciting twist on our traditional races!
Boats will start based on handicaps – High-PHRF boats first, Lower-PHRF boats later.  Each class of boat has their own start time.  Hence, faster boats will PURSUE the slower ones.  The idea is to have everyone finish at the same time (and scare the heck out of the Race Committee).  The first boat across the finish line is the winner!

There will be two races.  Start times will be posted Friday evening. These times will dictate when your boat starts after the conclusion of the initial start sequence.

All boats intending to race should let the Race Committee know via the form below.
This is ESPECIALLY important for CRUISE (division 5) boats and those with HIGHER handicaps.

Sign-up deadline is EOD Thursday, August 2nd.

Late entries may be accepted, as long as you don’t have a higher handicap than those registered by the deadline.

The Pursuit Races are free and open to ALL members of the club.

The start times for registered boats will be posted on Friday, August 3rd. More details will be sent as the race date approaches.

Any questions about the races can be directed to the Race Committee on the Contact Form.
