Sloop Tavern Yacht Club enters our second year hosting the winter Snowbird Series.  Formerly a partnership between Shilshole Bay Yacht Club and STYC, we are thrilled that over 55 skippers and crew signed up for last years series.  We're looking forward to more boats on the water this year!

Snowbird will test your skills in conditions that are frequently challenging - but always rewarding. These races will temper and harden a sailor during the unpredictable, frequently frigid, winter season.  Skippers and crew will strengthen their cohesiveness and share the stories for years to come!  

A single registration is good for all 5 races.  Participation is free to STYC members, $50 for non-members, and a $30 late fee for any registrant not registered by Friday, 11/13/2026 at 12:00pm.

We look forward to seeing you at the start line!  

UPDATE:  The November 14 Skippers Meeting will be in person on Friday, November 13 at 7:00pm at the Fall Membership and Volunteer Appreciation Party.  An online option is available. If attending in person, please register for the party here.  

Subsequent Skippers Meetings will be online at 1900 on the Friday before the race.
