Moorage is available at the public dock at Jerisich Park (below the large U.S. flag) or the Tides Tavern.  A limited number of berths are available at Peninsula Yacht Basin or Arabella’s Landing, and maybe other marinas within Gig Harbor Bay. 

EVENT NOTES:

  • The temporary mark at Blake Island shall be left to PORT. 
  • There may be an orange racing buoy (limiting mark) anchored within 200 yards of the Southworth ferry terminal.  Any boat passing inside this mark will be disqualified.
  • Withdrawals please contact Race Committee on Ch. 72 or (253) 225-1846

Protests MUST be delivered IN PERSON to Race Chair Tom Mitchell prior to 2 hours after the finish of the last yacht or the expiration of the time limit.  Please notify the race committee of your intent to protest upon crossing the finish line.

Post race party at Gig Harbor Yacht Club.  We will again be serving FREE food, salad, beer and pop for all race participants and guests following the race.  Race results and photos of the day will be shown.  Don’t miss this event!

Awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each class will be given out by GHYC.  In addition, GHYC will award a perpetual trophy, the Ringgold Cup, to the first boat in any class which wins by the greatest corrected time margin over the second boat in that class.  Race results will be posted on the Southern Sound Series web site as soon as possible.
