RACE REGISTRATION IS INFORMAL - AND FREE!  It is helpful for us if you register here for a headcount and show up on Tuesdays BEFORE 6pm (6pm you should be out on the course ready to start).  See Fleet Captain, Lee Montes for any questions about anything Sunfish!  DO check in on the water at the race committee boat with your name and sail number, every race.   Also please DO alert the race committee boat if you ever have to go in to shore early or have any issues on the water so they are aware you are off the water and safe as they might not be aware, remember they are officiating a race.

Not ready to race?  Come down and watch the fleet prep their boats and ask all the questions you want!  They love to share!  Youth are welcome to participate if they can be unsupervised, have shown competence to compete approved by the instruction staff, and a life jacket is a must, always.  We have a Committee boat out on the water for race nights to oversee, score, and for safety if you are unable to recover.


Ma Huus Singlehanded Sunfish Championship @  Tuesday, AUGUST 4th  

Sunfish & 420's are invited to join the Friday night PHRF Race series, with staggered starts for different classes of boats.  The Ma Huus Championship eligibility to win is only open to WPSA members sailing Sunfish but all may race as normal. 

History of the "Ma" Huus:   "The CC Knockabout Class donated the "Ma" Huus Trophy in 1965 to commemorate Augusta M. "Ma" Huus, whose service, spirit and devotion to the association was of unparalleled importance in leading the organization to it's present high esteem and whose particular interest in the CC Knockabout Class helped in sustaining that class so that it had existed as an active racing class longer than any other in the Wet Pants Sailing Association.

  It is now awarded to the Wet Pants Member who has the best record in a three-race Sunfish Series.  Ma Huus was Financial Secretary and also served on the Race Committee when not crewing for her husband.  She was also the recipient of the Sacred Pants in 1959."
