Registration is now open for the St. Pete Sailing World Regatta

(Yacht Scoring did a major update on 12-18-24 that has been having issues. If you are having issues, suggest waiting until issues are rectified)
As the snow starts to fall and the temperature drops, it's time to start thinking about the St. Pete Regatta with temps in the 70s and sun shining on your face. This regatta has become one of the most attended race of the year.

Updated Class Rules

Rules have been updated and are now in effect. The new rules were voted at the 2024 Annual Meeting. They include a larger #3 Jib that is allowed and an update to the measuring of the spinnaker. There are also numerous rules interpretations that were voted on by the BOD. These interpretations are in effect immediately and will be voted on by the full membership at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Some of the interpretations were under advisement of a US Sailing judge.

Congratulations to Challenge
on Winning the

2024 Nashville Equalizer Regatta

First Place- Challenge

Second Place- Relentless

Third Place- Rebel

For the 2024 Nashville Equalizer, we had one of the highest turnouts ever with 18 boats that competed. The weather was beautiful all weekend with picture perfect blue skies and temps in the upper 70s. Unfortunately, this also meant light to little wind. Fortunately, the wind filled in just enough for us to get in 2 races on Saturday. Following the races the fleet went to Paul's house for his famous Gumbo Party. It did not disappoint. We were treated to great food, new and old friends, gracious hospitality, a campfire and nearly a full moon. Sunday morning started with fog and no wind. The wind did fill in so we went out to race. Unfortunately, the wind then quickly died once all the boats arrived at the course. After around 45min without any signs of the wind filling in, racing for the day was cancelled. The final results had the all women crew of Challenge in first place, and Relentless and Rebel tied for second place with Relentless winning the tie breaker. Thank you for all those who traveled great distances, including Texas. Also a big thank you to PPYC for hosting another great regatta. See you in 2025!

Congratulations to Extreme2
on winning the 2024 Class Championship

Sunday brought interesting conditions with major wind shifts. We started three races, but we were only able to complete three races because of the wind shifts. The wind started in the morning out of the Southeast and proceeded to clock through S, SW, W, NW, N and finally East as we headed back in. Many thanks to all of the MBYC volunteers who put on a fantastic regatta. Join us next year in Grosse Ile, MI for the 2025 Class Championship.

Congratulations to
Ginger on Winning the
2024 Lake Erie Championship

It was a competitive weekend on Lake Erie for the 2024 S2 7.9 Lake Erie Championship! Several close finishes, tight mark roundings, and early weed growth made for exciting and frustrating all at the same time! Thank you to Ford Yacht Club for hosting our fleet again this weekend!

Congratulations to Rebel on winning the
2024 St. Pete Sailing World Regatta Series

Rebel concluded the regatta in first place with Ginger in 2nd and K2 in 3rd. The Florida weather wasn't as corporative as we had hoped. Light winds on Friday only allowed one race, two races on Saturday were sailed before a storm system moved in and no races were sailed on Sunday with the storm system hanging around. Thank you to St. Pete Yacht Club for hosting the regatta and a big thank you to all the crews who traveled to St. Pete.

Congratulations to Extreme2 for Winning the Nashville Equalizer
This year we had 17 boats competing in seven races that were sailed in great conditions. Of course the other highlight of the weekend was the Gumbo Party at Paul's house. Second Place went to Navigator and Third Place went to Liaison.

Congratulations to Extreme2 on wining the 2023 Class Championship

The 2023 CCR concluded with a total of 7 races sailed on Friday and Saturday. The organizing committee decided to cancel races for Sunday with storms in the area and high winds building out of the Northeast. It was a tight race for the podium as there was only 3 points separating 2nd and 4th place with a tie breaker needed to determine 2nd place. Racine Yacht Club was a great host and put on a fantastic regatta. Check out the on the water photos by Heidi Haakenson.
