Firecracker 500 Pursuit Race
Calling all sailors at SWYC! The first of 3 pursuit races, The Firecracker 500, is scheduled for Saturday July 3rd at Noon. Welcome back, racers! If you are new to racing this is a great way to start. A pursuit style race has everyone starting at a different time depending on handicap so there are no “starting anxiety” or congestion at the starting line. We are going to have a great time racing & please stick around for the Welcome Back Hot Dog Social for the awards ceremony & some much needed catching up & camaraderie.
If you would like to register your boat or have any questions, please email Fleet Captain Jessica Eddy-Storey at [email protected] with your specific boat information needed to get your PHRF rating (handicap) including:
Boat Type & Size
Boat Name
Type of prop: Solid, Folding or Outboard
