Here at Sarasota Sailing Squadron, the Sunfish is the largest, most active, and fastest growing fleet. We divide our racing into three seasons: HIGH SEASON: PRESEASON: SUMMER SEASON: MAY – SEPTEMBER
High Season: January through April
We sail on Tuesdays and Saturdays throughout the high season. Tuesdays: Tuesday, we emphasize organized training. We have a briefing, then on the water drills/ racin
g, then we debrief over snacks and beverages. Saturdays: There is always something going on Saturday afternoons. In a typical month, 2 Saturdays/ month we run our own races at SSS, 1 Saturday we join SSS’s multi-fleet racing, and 1 Saturday/ month we encourage the fleet to travel to Davis Island. We like to end with a WOW (Words of Wisdom) from the top finishers sharing tips, then Post Racing Dinner with Family & Friends! Preseason & Summer Season
On selected Saturday afternoons in the PRESEASON (Nov-Dec, about 2x per month) SUMMER SEASON (May-Oct about 1x per month) we run casual format with racing and training. Post-race snacks and beverages provided. There are also numerous regattas, both near by and afar, to keep you as engaged as you want to be in these ‘off seasons’.
