Portland Yacht Club welcomes all skippers and crews to our first sailing gathering of the year at Apres on Wednesday, February 25 from 6:00 - 9:00 PM. Apres is located at 148 Anderson Street, Portland.
This is a very informal gathering focused on socializing within and across boats and fleets with invitations out to the PHRF, J-24, Etchells, and Laser fleets at PYC, the PHRF fleet at Centerboard, and sailors from SailMaine. Our goal is quite simple: to create an opportunity for racing sailors to know each other better and support the efforts of each of these marvelous fleets. There is no cost to participate in this event beyond buying your own beverages!
