What’s Up in February

Welcome to the 2018 season of sailboat racing in the Portland area!  You can join or renew OCSA membership online and participating locations. Membership in OCSA is required for participation in most racing events.

Upcoming events:
WSC Portlandia Cup, February 17th and 18th, WSC Outpost.  Registration for the 2018 Portlandia Cup is now open! The regatta will take place February 17 & 18 in front of McCuddy’s Marina on the Columbia River.  A new requirement this year is that each boat is required to have at least one youth sailor (18 and under) on board. Please read the registration closely and reach out to us with any questions you might have. We look forward to seeing you all out on the Columbia!  See the WSC website for details. www.willamettesailingclub.com  (Please note: the printed 2018 OCSA Racebook has this event listed inaccurately. Feb 17th and 18th are the correct dates.)

SYSCO Fleet Night, February 27th. Everyone is invited to kick-off a new year of racing at SYSCO Fleet Night! Meet with other members of your fleet, elect a fleet captain, and slamdunk the winter blues with camaraderie, pizza, and BYOB beverages. OCSA Membership, with printed 2018 Racebook, will be available.

Sailing on Sunday, continues through March 4th.  CYC invites all interested skippers and crew to participate in a “for fun” race series on the Columbia River between the I-5 and I-205 bridges. New sailors and racers are especially encouraged to join. This is a multiple week series with one race scheduled each Sunday. This casual race series was started as an excuse for sailors to get out on the water through the winter months.
The PYC Clubhouse is open to all SOS sailors every Sunday in February for brunch or happy hour at member pricing. Brunch is 10am – 2pm. Happy hour 2pm – 7pm.
