Is Block Island Race Week on your bucket list? Or do you know someone who should bring their boat? We want to invite you and your sailing buddies to learn more about this incredible event as we gear up for its 60th birthday!

Storm Trysail Club's Block Island Race Week offers a wide range of racing options—Grand Prix, One-Design, ORC, or PHRF Cruising—making it accessible to sailors of all skill levels. It's more than just top-notch racing by day. Each evening, you'll join fellow sailors under the tent for socials filled with great food, drinks, and plenty of stories from the racecourse.

If you're curious to know more, we'd love to connect! We're hosting a special Zoom seminar on Thursday, October 24th, at 8:00 PM, where our Race Chair, Ty Anderson, will give an insider's view of the event. He'll cover the logistics, racing options, and everything that makes Block Island Race Week so memorable. There will be time for Q&A, so bring your questions!

Even if you can't attend live, we'll be recording the session for later viewing. But live participation is always best—after all, the more, the merrier!

If you're interested in learning more or know other sailors who might want to join, please pass along the invite. Let's make the 60th anniversary the biggest and best Block Island Race Week yet!

Thanks for your interest, and we hope to see you at the seminar!
