Welcome to the Pelican Cove Sailing Club (PCSC) Sarasota, FL.
The Club has been in operation since 1986, first under the banner of the Siesta Key Sailing Club and more recently under the banner of the Pelican Cove Sailing Club, where most of the boats are based.
The club serves the needs of small keel boat sailors who are looking for low-key round-the-buoy racing in South Sarasota.
There is no club house, just a group of sailors who meet on the waters of Little Sarasota Bay from late October through April.
The racing format is "pursuit style" where boats start according to their handicap...slowest boat first, so no drama on the start line. Ideal for causal racers. First boat over the finish line wins! No post-race adjustments to finishing places.
The average race lasts a little over an hour on a triangular course sailed twice around, approximately three miles (see the "Course" page for details).
Racing days are on weekdays with a 1:30 PM start time. See the "Schedule" page for more details.
Membership is open to all keel boats from 16-28 feet.
If you are interested in becoming a club member, or crewing, call or email Pete or Paul whose numbers are on the contacts page.
