America’s Cup Live Broadcasts This Weekend If you have the time and interest you can tune in to the live broadcasts of the America's Cup series races from Venice this weekend.

 Racing on Port Townsend Bay. Photo by Elizabeth Becker Invitational means You’re invited Some people asked how they could be invited after seeing the poster. Invitational means we are inviting sailors from other local yacht clubs to attend as well as local PT sailors. The name stems from a desire to share our particular location and style of racing with boats from other areas. If this idea grows, we will grow the event in future years. This year we will have some boats from Sequim and Port Ludlow. Please be on our best, most hospitable behavior! Registration Registration will be at the Skipper’s meeting. There is no registration fee for PTSA members if you RSVP by Thursday, June 24th. Non – PTSA members and late arrivals will be hit up for $10. We need to know how much beer and pizza to purchase.
