Augustine Race Week is a Spring sailing event combining large-boat ocean racing and spectator-friendly small boat racing along the St. Augustine waterfront. The four-day regatta, March 30 - April 2, 2016 celebrates St. Augustine, the first city’s colorful maritime heritage. Sailors from Savannah to Daytona are scheduled to race offshore in yachts from 24 to 50 feet long. The downtown races will fe

ature a fleet of junior sailors in Optimus Prams and 420 dinghies. In addition to the sailing events, St. Augustine Race Week includes after-race parties for racers and guests along the downtown waterfront and St. Augustine Yacht Club including live music and catered meals. Many of the competitor yachts will be docked at the downtown City Marina and available for casual inspection by the public. Augustine Race Week is a descendant of the former First Coast Offshore Challenge (2005-2014). The new name reflects the expansion of sponsorship to include all eight member clubs of the First Coast Sailing Association and its now-official home base in the Ancient City. Chairman Guy Anderson explains, “It’s a perfect location for this regatta. It has easy access to the ocean, a great fleet of local racers and plenty of docking for visiting yachts, not to mention all the great restaurants and attractions of St. Augustine itself.”

Race Week begins Wednesday, March 30 with a competitors meeting at St. Augustine Yacht Club. Offshore racing begins Thursday March 31st and continues with a series of races ending on Saturday, April 2. Small boat racing downtown begins Saturday and ends Sunday the 3rd. Big boat sailors wishing to register for the race are invited to contact Adam Norwood at [email protected] or 904-398-7343. Junior sailors who wish to participate in Optis or 420’s should contact Jack Feeney at [email protected] or 904-568-8405. Website URL is www.sarw2016.com.
