The Brewers Cup, a downwind pursuit race with a staggered start for any and all sail boats that can navigate the Indian River, will be Saturday, Oct. 22.

It will be between the Smyrna Yacht Club and Mosquito Lagoon, a distance of about 10 miles. The direction – either racing North or South -- is chosen to create a downwind race, which allows many of the boats to fly their colorful spinnakers.

The race will have a staggered start so as many boats as possible will finish close together. This can be particularly exciting.

Boat owners can find the Notice of Race and Application form at smyrnayachtclub.com or by picking up an application from the SYC reception desk and returning it to the attention of Genie Flynn.

Participating sailors do not have to be members of any yacht or sailing club. The cost is $25 per boat.

For more information, contact Ms. Flynn at (860) 729 5899 or eflynn@snet.net.
