Upcoming Events
Join us for the 2020 Fall Off Regatta -- Registration Now Open
Percy Priest Yacht Club cordially invites you and your crew to attend the Fall Off Regatta. This year the Fall Off Regatta is going to be a little different, as you might expect. In addition to some changes because of the pandemic, we will be running a Pursuit Style Race. This means each different type of boat will have its own start countdown. The faster your boat is, the longer your countdown before you can cross the start line. Whoever finishes first, wins! The courses will be distance races. So, depending on the wind, the course may round some islands headed north toward the dam. Or, it may head south toward Hobson Pike bridge. This regatta is open to all sailboat types in three classes: Spinnaker, Non-Spinnaker and Bee Fleet. Skipper and crew of all skill levels are invited to join in. We especially want this race to be conducive to the Bee Fleet or other cruisers who want an excuse to get out and see a little more of the lake with your fellow sailors. If you haven't raced before, make sure to send an email to racing@ppyc.org so we can assign you a countdown time for your boat’s start.
Reservations for the Equalizer Regatta (October 17-18) have been open for several weeks now. It looks like turnout will be good, including out-of-town registrants. Unfortunately, we had to cancel the Octoberfest Regatta because of complexities arising from the COVID-19 protocols.
The Christmas Dinner And Social has been cancelled. We’re sorry, but it simply will not be possible for us to have a meaningful gathering this year that is compliant with our COVID-19 policy. Also, all remaining 2020 events are being updated regularly to reflect current status, so check them out on the Events Calendar.
Our Annual Meeting is scheduled for 2:00-4:00pm Saturday, January 9th. COVID-19 restrictions will make the clubhouse unsuitable as a venue this year. We are investigating options nearby and will change that item on the Events Calendar when we have made the necessary arrangements.
Please check the special page we've added this year to keep you regularly and frequently updated on the overall status of the Coronavirus situation, including its impact on our Events schedule -- Coronavirus Updates.
