Greetings, PPYC

With the pleasant change in weather after a long hot summer, let’s get out there on the water and enjoy this great early fall weather. What better way to kick it off than Oktoberfest this Saturday? Come race, crew or just drop by for brats and beer to celebrate the occasion. Take this opportunity to get others out on your boat or gather friends to hang out and work on a project.

As we approach the end of our 2026 sailing season, please consider getting involved in club leadership. The club is a completely volunteer run organization that requires support of its members to keep on sailing into a new season. We are still looking for a race director, social director, and treasurer. If you think you might be willing to take on one of these rolls please reach out.


This is the final week of Learning at the Helm (Tue, Sept 29) and the final race of the season for Wednesday Night Races (Wed, Sept 30; awards night is Wed, Oct 7th @ 6pm). Thank you to all of the skippers, crew and volunteers, etc., for participating this year. We've had incredible success with these events this year, and it is all because of you!


Upcoming Planned Sailing Events include:

Oktoberfest: Sept 26 -We still need volunteers for tomorrow! Please check availability on the website. 

Equalizer: Oct 17-18

Fall Off: Nov 7

Kamikaze: Dec 6


Happy Sailing,
Chris Berkey
