Racing in the Tampa Bay Area


guntercb
 

Hello,

I am thinking of purchasing a Sunfish to start racing. I live in the
Tampa Bay Area and am wondering where in the area races SunFish? I
believe the Clearwater Sailing Center races under the Portsmouth
System. Are there any Sunfish racing classes in the area? Any
information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

Chris,

I don't know specifically where you might race in your area, perhaps one of
this groups Florida members can give you some specifics.

Most marinas have some sort of sailing club that holds events where you can
compete under Portsmouth handicap. If you would like to find Sunfish Class
events, I recommend that you take a look at this web site.


If you think you are going to get serious about competition then I encourage
you to join the Sunfish Class Association. Even if you sail recreationally
it is a great source of information and guidance.

If you sign up on the Sunfish List Server you will become linked into the
latest information on Sunfish Class racing up and down the East Coast and
sometimes elsewhere.



And if you are not aware of it, here's the site for Vanguard - manufacturer
of the Sunfish.



Good sailing,

Wayne
