Sunday Racing at Tacoma Yacht Club


The fun is back in NW sailing

Sunday Racing at Tacoma Yacht Club:

This year Tacoma Yacht Club brought back the Sunday race series that was held over 10 years ago.  This is a series based on fun sailing and using your boat.  Ullman Team member Jon Thompson put this series together with the help of volunteers at Tacoma Yacht Club to get people interested in using their boats more. 

So far this has been a huge success with great weather and light winds.  There are boats from San Juan 24’s to large Beneteau’s and everything in between.  Some boats are racing boats like the Henderson 30 and the Olson 30 to cruisers like the Newport 27 and Beneteau 44.

Results are posted on line with photos at http://tacomayachtclub.org/site/Sailing.html but results are not what the event is about.  There is great socializing in the club after each event.  Come join the fun at Tacoma Yacht Club and if you feel up to it, come out for Winter Vashon.  It is the first of the South Sound Series this winter and is sponsored by Ullman Sails.  There will be fun giveaways and great sailing.
