TransPuget Benefit Race

SBYC is pleased to announce the Corinthian Yacht Club as co-sponsor of the 2007 TransPuget Benefit Race.  CYC (http://cycseattle.org) is providing their floating clubhouse for the party after the race.  First place in each class wins a free haul-out from one of a variety of local boat yards.

The benefactor will be adaptive sailing at Sound Experience (http://www.soundexp.org) in support of many programs that cannot pay for the operating costs and protecting Puget Sound through environmental education while providing hands-on leadership experiences. These include complimentary sails for families touched by cancer (you may have seen wide coverage in the Seattle papers this year and last year) and other such groups. This is the fifth year the TransPuget has raised funds toward adaptive sailing opportunities in dedicated adaptive programs and mainstream programs with open doors.
