Change to Sailing Instructions

Corinthian Yacht Club will kick off Seattle's 2009 competitive sailboat racing season with the Center Sound Series beginning on March 7. The series, one of the most popular racing events on Puget Sound, will include a "Casual Class" for the first time this year.

The events in the series, open to one-design and PHRF fleets, are the Blakely Rocks Light Race, March 7, the Possession Point Race, March 14, and the Pully Point Race March 28. First warning for each race is 9 a.m., and all are designed to be finished by late afternoon.

The Casual Class is for sailors who would like a taste of competition in a relaxed field, and the course for this class will be shorter. A "Racing for Beginners" seminar covering the basics of sailing instructions, racing rules, course descriptions and starting procedures will be held at the CYC Shilshole clubhouse Feb. 22 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Deadline for registration for the races is 4 p.m. on the Wednesday before the first race sailed, or Wednesday, March 4, for the entire series.

Register by calling the club at (206) 789-1919 or use the link below.
