First STT Yacht Club Invitational Regatta

The first St. Thomas Yacht Club Invitational Regatta will take place on two days in June. Run out of the club’s St. Thomas Sailing Center in Cowpet Bay, this inaugural event welcomes 11 teams representing all three U.S. Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, USA and Sweden. Crews are limited to two in the IC24 and will race jib and main, thus eliminating extra crew needed to fly a spinnaker. Plus, sailors will wear facial buffs while sailing. The Regatta will also commemorate a perpetual trophy awarded to the winning teams, which is dedicated to Rudy Thomson and Dick Avery.For more  information about the STYC Invitational Regatta and STSC sailing lessons, contact Dave Franzel
