SAILFEST (formerly TAKE YOUR TIME FRIDAYS) Fridays in June, July & August

Sailfest is a casual racing event hosted by the Sloop Tavern Yacht Club (STYC), CYC (Corinthian Yacht Club), and Seattle Sailing Club. Previously known as Take Your Time Fridays in June & July, SSC, CYC, and STYC have teamed up to bring the community 3 months of Sailfest!

Sailfest promotes a friendly and inclusive atmosphere. It is designed to be a relaxed and stress-free experience, whether individuals are new to racing and looking to get started or simply want to have fun on the water with other boats. Unlike traditional racing events, the event does not have a formal Race Committee. Instead, teams participating in the event are trusted to adhere to the honor system for the start.

After the on-the-water activities, the event continues ashore with a social gathering where participants can unwind, socialize, and enjoy food and beverages. This aspect of Sailfest further promotes a sense of camaraderie and provides an opportunity for sailors to connect and share their experiences.
