Sloop Tavern Yacht Club is excited to announce our 6th Annual Women at the Helm Race Series. The second in the series is the Women at the Helm Regatta, a typical buoy race with the goal of completing up to three short races in the vicinity of West Point and Spring Beach.
What makes Women at the Helm different than our other races? This series specifically requires an eligible person (please see NOR below for details) to helm through the whole race. This doesn't mean only one person can helm; in fact, we encourage crews with several eligible helmspeople to rotate through who is at the helm!
Everyone who races will receive one raffle ticket and additional tickets will be given to those who helmed, if it's your first time helming a race, and if your whole crew consists of qualifying helmspeople! Tickets will be passed out at the awards and after-party on the marina plaza after the race. Thank you to those who have sponsored our event so far, including Maiven Sailing, Ballard Sails, Seattle Marine Canvas, Backstay Logbooks, Rough & Tumble Pub, Fisheries Supply, and CSR Marine! **UPDATE: Join us on the marina plaza at 6:00 PM (the day's racing permitting) for the after-party with snacks and drinks! The awards will be announced at 6:30 PM and we will have the raffle right after awards!**
We are also excited to announce that once again we are planning a pre-race social the night before the race at Rough & Tumble Pub, to coincide with the skippers meeting. Come hang out starting at 5:30 PM and grab some snacks and drinks with your fellow racers prior to the skippers meeting at 7:00 PM! Note, we will still have the virtual skippers meeting running for those unable to attend in person.
Race entry is free for STYC members and $35 for non-members.
