      <title>WOMEN on WATER (WOW) - REGISTER NOW for the 2026 Sailing Season (06 Feb 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 32px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.pentagonsailing.org/Women-on-Water-a-PSC-group/"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;WOMEN ON WATER&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (WOW), a Pentagon Sailing Club (PSC) group, &lt;font&gt;provides opportunities for women to sail in a fun, supportive, and learning environment!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 32px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;From April through October, WOW meets on select Thursdays (5:30 pm until dusk) and Saturdays (starting at 9:00 am) and occasional Fridays and Sundays at the Capital Cove Marina on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) in Washington, D.C., where PSC moors a fleet of Catalina Capri 22s. After each sail, &lt;font&gt;WOW members gather at the marina's waterfront restaurant, The Slip Inn.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 32px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who&lt;/strong&gt;: All PSC women are welcome to join!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 32px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When&lt;/strong&gt;: April through October 2026&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 32px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;font&gt;Capital Cove Marina, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB),&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;90 Giovannoli Way, Washington, D.C. 20032&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 32px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cost&lt;/strong&gt;: $60 covers the cost of the 2026 sailing season&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 32px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Tahoma, sans-serif"&gt;Note, you must be a &lt;a href="https://www.pentagonsailing.org/sys/website/?pageId=963873"&gt;PSC member&lt;/a&gt; to register for WoW. If you DO NOT have access to JBAB,&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(205, 240, 43);"&gt;after completing a PSC membership application, you may apply for&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.pentagonsailing.org/DBIDS-Form"&gt;&lt;font color="#206699"&gt;DBIDS&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;card&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;nbsp;This takes time to process. Without a DBIDS card, you don't have access to the marina.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#1B3445" face="Tahoma, sans-serif"&gt;Note: PSC can only sponsor DBIDS cards for active club members.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 32px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Tahoma, sans-serif"&gt;Happy Sailing!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 32px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Tahoma" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Here's your chance to take a little time after work (or maybe even leave the office early if you can) and join some of your fellow PSC members for an evening social sail on the Potomac.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Boats depart the docks by 4:30 PM at the latest (or earlier if a skipper has a boat full of people).&amp;nbsp; All boats must be&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;tied back up in their slips before sunset.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Come out and join us and practice your sailing. You might pick up a tip or be able to share your tips with each other in this relaxed atmosphere. Oh, did we mention that it's only $10 to participate (&amp;amp; free for Skippers)? How much better can it get?!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Register&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;We hope to see you out on the water!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;__________________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE TO ALL:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Capacity is totally dependent on how many Skippers sign up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;No skipper, no boat.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;If you are considering being a Skipper (see requirements below), but need some orientation and/or a bit more practice, let us know. We'll figure something out.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTICE:&amp;nbsp; Guest registrations are now allowed.&amp;nbsp; If you wish to sail with family members, consider a Family Membership.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: We are always looking for Skippers!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
To be a Skipper on a Social Sail, a member must be pre-approved in accordance with the PSC Training and Qualifications Policy. Generally that requires: completing ASA 101/103, three sails on the Potomac within the past two years subsequent to 101/103,&amp;nbsp;a Boater Safety Card, and having sailed once on the Potomac each season prior to Skippering.&lt;/span&gt;

      <title>2026 Mount Vernon Flotilla (16 May 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 30px;"&gt;2026 Mount Vernon Flotilla&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PSC will sail our fleet of Capri 22's from Capital Cove Marina at Bolling AFB to Mount Vernon.&amp;nbsp; We'll cast off at 8:30 am and expect to arrive at Mount Vernon Wharf around 11:30.&amp;nbsp; Plan to spend about three hours ashore for lunch and sightseeing, and depart at 2:30.&amp;nbsp; Our expected arrival time at Capital Cove is 5:30.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Everyone sailing needs to have a Mount Vernon entry ticket, so a group tour of the mansion has been arranged for 12:40 and there will be time for self guided exploration of the grounds.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The six hours of sailing time will offer a great opportunity to meet other PSC members and gain sailing and navigation experience in unfamiliar waters.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The cost of this event, is $35 or $10 with one FVSM.&amp;nbsp; Since space is limited, this event is limited to members only.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;POC:&amp;nbsp; Joanne S&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;We normally have dinner together, hear from a guest speaker, and then conduct a business meeting. All year long, it's a good time!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#FFF200" style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;We'll be at a new venue called RAGTIME (&lt;/strong&gt;sister site to the Rhodeside Grill which is closed) &lt;strong style=""&gt;1345 N.

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Ubuntu, sans-serif"&gt;This is a multi-day social sail over the Memorial Day weekend. We depart the marina on Saturday and meet other boats on the bay, raft-up, and spend the day on the water. See flyer attached below.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Ubuntu, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Theme&lt;/u&gt;:&amp;nbsp; Mardi Gras&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;24 May 2025&lt;/u&gt; - Raft Up&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;u&gt;25 May 2025&lt;/u&gt; - In port catered dinner&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif;"&gt;This is a great multi-day experience, where you get to experience the liveaboard style, plus you get to raft-up with other boats. The sail is a great time to practice any skills you may need for a certification, or just to make sure you keep them sharp. If all you want is relax, there will be multiple fore-decks where you can do so.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu, sans-serif"&gt;Monday we return to our home ports.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We look forward to seeing you. Please pass the information about the Raft Up to anyone who wants to attend and let the skipper know if you have any questions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Ubuntu, sans-serif"&gt;Registration price only covers charter costs. Additional costs such as food, pump-out, fuel, and slip fees will be shared by the crew.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Ubuntu, sans-serif"&gt;The charter boat is a catamaran with three 2-person cabins and three singles in salon (sleeping nine). You can check it out &lt;a href="https://sailsi.com/our-fleet/second-sight/" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Ubuntu, sans-serif"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" face="Ubuntu, sans-serif"&gt;The fee will &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; be refunded if cancellation occurs within 30 days of the start date of the sail, unless the participant finds a replacement. The club will assist with this but will not be responsible for finding a replacement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Here's your chance to take a little time after work (or maybe even leave the office early if you can) and join some of your fellow PSC members for an evening social sail on the Potomac.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Come out and join us and practice your sailing. You might pick up a tip or be able to share your tips with each other in this relaxed atmosphere. Oh, did we mention that it's only $10 to participate (&amp;amp; free for Skippers)? How much better can it get?!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana" style=""&gt;BUT WAIT, THERE's MORE!&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=""&gt;On the last Wednesday of each month&lt;/strong&gt;, we will hold a Social Hour after we sail with&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=""&gt;FREE Club provided refreshments!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Register here:&amp;nbsp; https://www.pentagonsailing.org/event-6550115&lt;a id="eventDetailsMain_viewUrl_viewUrl" href="https://www.pentagonsailing.org/event-5704225" target="_blank" name="eventDetailsMain_viewUrl_viewUrl"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Wednesday Night Social Sail (03 Jun 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000FF" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Come join for a Wednesday Night Social Sail with PSC!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Here's your chance to take a little time after work (or maybe even leave the office early if you can) and join some of your fellow PSC members for an evening social sail on the Potomac.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Boats depart the docks by 4:30 PM at the latest (or earlier if a skipper has a boat full of people).&amp;nbsp; All boats must be&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;tied back up in their slips before sunset.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Come out and join us and practice your sailing. You might pick up a tip or be able to share your tips with each other in this relaxed atmosphere. Oh, did we mention that it's only $10 to participate (&amp;amp; free for Skippers)? How much better can it get?!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Wednesday Night Social Sail (15 Jul 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000FF" face="Verdana" style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Come join for a Wednesday Night Social Sail with PSC!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Here's your chance to take a little time after work (or maybe even leave the office early if you can) and join some of your fellow PSC members for an evening social sail on the Potomac.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Boats depart the docks by 4:30 PM at the latest (or earlier if a skipper has a boat full of people).&amp;nbsp; All boats must be&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;tied back up in their slips before sunset.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Come out and join us and practice your sailing. You might pick up a tip or be able to share your tips with each other in this relaxed atmosphere. Oh, did we mention that it's only $10 to participate (&amp;amp; free for Skippers)? How much better can it get?!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;Click here to Register:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.pentagonsailing.org/event-6550192" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.pentagonsailing.org/event-6550192&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;We hope to see you out on the water!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;__________________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE TO ALL:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Capacity is totally dependent on how many Skippers sign up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;No skipper, no boat.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;If you are considering being a Skipper (see requirements below), but need some orientation and/or a bit more practice, let us know. We'll figure something out.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTICE:&amp;nbsp; Guest registrations are now allowed.&amp;nbsp; If you wish to sail with family members, consider a Family Membership.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: We are always looking for Skippers!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
To be a Skipper on a Social Sail, a member must be pre-approved in accordance with the PSC Training and Qualifications Policy. Generally that requires: completing ASA 101/103, three sails on the Potomac within the past two years subsequent to 101/103,&amp;nbsp;a Boater Safety Card, and having sailed once on the Potomac each season prior to Skippering.&lt;/span&gt;

      <title>Monthly Membership Social- West Marine Night! (21 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Dear PSCers:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Monthly Membership s&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;o&lt;/font&gt;cial meetings are held the third Monday of every month (3rd Tuesday, when Monday is a holiday), except in December when the annual Holiday Party &amp;amp; Awards Dinner takes the place of the regular social meeting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;We normally have dinner together, hear from a guest speaker, and then conduct a business meeting. All year long, it's a good time!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Happy Hour and networking starts at 6:00 pm and meeting starts at 7:00 pm with a short ice-breaker. &amp;nbsp;We recommend that you come early to have some food (pizza!!), birthday cake for our April birthdays, and drinks, browse through West Marine's merchandise, and hang around with other sailors.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Do you or someone you know have a unique or interesting insight, skill, or experience related to some aspect of sailing you would be willing to present to our membership?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Please contact our&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="mailto:membership@pentagonsailing.org" target="_blank"&gt;Membership Commodore&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for more information.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Here's your chance to take a little time after work (or maybe even leave the office early if you can) and join some of your fellow PSC members for an evening social sail on the Potomac.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Boats depart the docks starting at 4:30; 5:30 PM at the latest.&amp;nbsp; All boats must be&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;tied back up in their slips before sunset.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Come out and join us and practice your sailing. You might pick up a tip or be able to share your tips with each other in this relaxed atmosphere. Oh, did we mention that it's only $10 to participate (&amp;amp; free for Skippers)? How much better can it get?!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE TO ALL:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Capacity is totally dependent on how many Skippers sign up.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;No skipper, no boat.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;If you are considering being a Skipper (see requirements below), but need some orientation and/or a bit more practice, let us know. We'll figure something out.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0); font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTICE: Guest registration is now available.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0); font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE: We are always looking for Skippers!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
To be a Skipper on a Social Sail, a member must be pre-approved in accordance with the PSC Training and Qualifications Policy. Generally that requires: completing ASA 101/103, three sails on the Potomac within the past two years subsequent to 101/103,&amp;nbsp;a Boater Safety Card, and having sailed once on the Potomac each season prior to Skippering.&lt;/span&gt;

      <title>Hydrilla Cup (31 Oct 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.pentagonsailing.org/resources/HydCupBannerPic.bmp"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Hydrilla Cup is a PSC social event hosted by the Racing Squadron. Join us for a day of races, fellowship, and a cookout!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The main event will be a series of two to three races on the Potomac River in which teams of PSC members compete against each other to claim victory on one of our Capri 22's.&amp;nbsp; We'll follow the racing with a cookout at the marina.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is also a great opportunity to try out for PSC's 2027 racing team.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This event is free, but registration is required since there's limited space on the boats.&amp;nbsp; If you'd like to share a dish for the cookout, please send a note to &lt;a href="mailto:racing@pentagonsailing.org" target="_blank"&gt;racing@pentagonsailing.org&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If you'd like to attend the cookout but not sail, there's unlimited space to attend.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Note:&amp;nbsp; This event is held on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling; you must have an ID card (or a DIBDS card) that allows access to the base to participate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;0900&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Welcome, Intro to Racing, prepare boats&lt;br&gt;
1000&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Launch boats, warm up&lt;br&gt;
1100&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Start time for first race&lt;br&gt;
1430&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Estimated finish time for last race&lt;br&gt;
