Club Championship Series
[a.k.a. Wednesday Night Keelboat Racing]
|
Wednesday night racing begins in May and ends in September....
Offering racing in JOG and PHRF these races generally provide a great setting for less experienced sailors while still providing fierce competition for the more experienced. |
 |
 |
Racing starts at the center of South Port Sailing Club's modified Olympic course located 1.4 nautical miles 33 degrees magnetic from the Pike Creek outer marks. All races start promptly with the first warning signal at 1845hrs GPS time.

| New for 2011 | |
| Published Notice of Race | Read the combined Notice of Race for the Monday-Night Series, and the (Wednesday-night) SPSC Open Series Regatta and Club Championship Series. |
| The new Wednesday-night 7-4-7 series split | This has been well discussed in Sounding and in the published notice of race. |
| Race Committee Duties | Any club member who competes may be called upon to preform RC duties. Expect to see posting in the racing section of the web site. |
| Vanishing Shark fleet | Historically one of the strongest racing fleets at South Port, the Shark fleet has been unable to put more than two or three boats on the starting line for several years running. There will be no one-design start this year. We would ask that you observe one-minute of silence to mourn its passing. |
