Youth Race Teams


Team StFYC - C420

Teenage members of St. Francis Yacht Club, or youth in the process of joining, are eligible to try out for the St. Francis Yacht Club Race Team. We sail C420s year-round in a combination of Friday afternoon and Saturday morning practices, with regattas locally, in Southern California and on the Atlantic seaboard.

A Team StFYC try-out could be formal, or it could be a matter of demonstrating over time that you have the right stuff — the commitment and diligence to improve and keep improving, respect for your fellow team members and competitors, respect for the expensive equipment supplied by the Club, and in possession of a spirit that expresses the joy of sailing. If you make the Team, you become part of the St. Francis story. You will be asked to sign a Code of Conduct committing to high standards, including a promise to serve on the Race Committee. You should understand Race Committee time is an opportunity to learn skills you don’t learn in a small race boat, such as how to drive a powerboat packing 150 horsepower. On Race Committee you will observe racing from a new viewpoint, make friends in new places, and become more fully a part of the St. Francis Yacht Club community. You will also be giving back to our volunteer sport. This is how we roll.
