RACE NIGHTS AT SSP
Mixed Fleet Monday Night Racing
Sail Sand Point hosts informal Mixed Fleet racing on Monday nights at 5:30 PM during the late spring through summer, and Sunday afternoons at 3:00 PM during the spring and fall (race nights have switched to Sunday afternoons as of September 15th, 2024 until October 20th, 2024, with the exception of October 13th when SSP is closed for Cascadia Cup) .
Any type of sailboat can participate and no scores are recorded. Following the racing there is often a BBQ where racers provide sides and SSP provides burgers and hot dogs. There is no fee to race, although SSP does suggest a $5 contribution, especially for those eating off the grill.
Participants that wish to rent SSP boats will have to do so through an online reservation process, and we will build out our Open Boating (OB) sessions to best cater to racers.
On Mondays during the summer Open Boating staff will place a mark at around 5:00 PM. Rigging begins around 5:30 PM and the first start is close to 6:00 PM. On Mondays, OB will run until 7:30pm through late-May, and then move to 8:30pm from Memorial Day through early fall. The mark will be pulled and all SSP boats must be derigged and checked in by closing time.
