Greetings from the Commodore (2008)

Welcome to the Pensacola Beach Yacht Club’s 21st annual Race for the Roses. Over the years, this has become one of the premier regattas and events our club sponsors. This year, the race has been designated the Gulf Yachting Association Women’s PHRF Championship and will be raced on both Saturday and Sunday with social events on Saturday.

Good luck and good sailing.
