• Warrior Sailing Returns to St. Petersburg

by Ian Holtzworth | Warrior Sailing | 0 comments

Based out of the St. Petersburg Yacht Club, this year’s participants experienced perfect conditions on Tampa Bay, with three full days of steady breeze.

Warrior Sailing began in 2013 at the St. Petersburg Sailing Center. The first camp was attended by Special Operations Command Warriors out of MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa. Since this initial camp, the last six years of growth have come directly out of demand from the veteran population. Our team of coaches, volunteers, yacht clubs, and supporters have helped to graduate over 400 Warriors throughout the country.  St. Petersburg delivered yet another week of perfect weather for our annual December camp. 18 new sailors and four alumni took to the waters of Tampa Bay to learn a new skill, and make some new friends.  Brisk (for Florida) temperatures were accompanied by northerly winds with sunshine and lots of smiles on the water.  We are always amazed at the progress our sailors make over their three days on the water; from boat handling to team building, this camp proved no exception.

While our coaches and volunteers helped us execute a world-class training experience on the water, none of it would have been possible without the generous support of local restaurants and groups ashore who kept the Warriors fueled up and ready to go each day.

Thank you to the Warriors attending the camp and to everyone else that made another successful camp!  Lets all welcome the 18 new warrior sailors to our community.

What is next for Warrior Sailing

We’re working on finalizing the 2020 schedule and will have it published in the new year.  Looking forward to seeing everyone on the water again soon!

Rich in history and tradition, the St. Petersburg Yacht Club is one of the oldest yacht clubs in the United States. Established in 1909 and having been completely renovated in the early 1990s, the Club is located on the beautiful waterfront in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. A gathering place for avid boaters, it is also one of Tampa Bay’s most prestigious social venues.

The mission of the St. Petersburg Yacht Club is to encourage and support yachting, and provide a comfortable social environment for our members and guests, while preserving and enhancing the Club’s traditions and prestige. 

From the Commodore:

St. Petersburg Yacht Club has been a leader in the American sailing community for 102 years. Becoming a founding member of The National Sailing Center & Hall of Fame was in line with our core traditions and values.

Tito Vargas, Commodore – St. Petersburg Yacht Club

St Petersburg’s city fathers had ambitious plans for their commercial docks: create waterfront parks and a yacht club. The St Petersburg Yacht Club was founded in 1909.

Following the reclamation and completion of the waterfront, the clubhouse was inaugurated on its current site in 1917. Two years later, 6 Fish Class sailboats were acquired and one design racing began. Several classes have returned annually for over 60 years.

Offshore racing started with the Havana Race in 1930. As forerunner of SORC, both brought sailors from all over the world to Tampa Bay.

The yacht club is famous for its standard of race management and events are run almost all year round.  Juniors learn to sail. Sailors have represented the club all over the world.

For more on our Club’s storied past, please take a few moments to enjoy our Centennial Book ( Part 1 ,  Part 2 ).
