Sailing Instructions
St. Croix Sailing Club is re-introducing the Women and Youth Skipper Races!
For decades these events were regular club favorites, but participation lagged for a few years in the early 2000’s. Today, as our club continues to grow, we’ve seen a bump in household memberships: More families out sailing with us! So the time seems right to bring back the Women and Youth Skipper Races.
When: Saturday, August 19th at 1pm
Two races: Women Skipper Race, followed by the Youth Skipper race
By Skipper, we mean the sailor helming the boat. A Youth must be under eighteen years old. Those are the only special requirements for these races. Boats are welcome to retain their regular crews and provide a tactician to aid the skipper.
All boats will participate in the same division (Division 1), with a single start and single race course.
Who: This event is open to all boats who have an assigned handicap.
Awards: There will be an awards ceremony following racing, with trophies for first place in each race. (location TBD)
If you’re a skipper lacking crew who meet the requirements for helming these races, reach out and we’ll try to help make some matches.
