Classic Sailboat Race St Petersburg Fl 1/17/2015
Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2014 1:33 am
6th Annual The St. Petersburg Classic Regatta
The regatta for Good Old Boats, 20 years old or more
Just for boats more than twenty years old makes it just the event for most of our Freedoms.
My Boat was raced by a previous owner but even with new sails he did not find success.
I havent raced...since well before my current 1981 Freedom 28 Cat Ketch was born.
Sounds like a recipe for fun, but not likely hardware.
The race is Sponsored by the Saint Petersburg Sailing Association and Raymarine is the financial sponsor. This is a charity event for meals on wheels...
Meals on Keels is the cry from the crows nest. http://www.spyc.org/files/2015%20st%20p ... %20NOR.pdf
