Both forms print. Sign them and bring them to a Wednesday or a monthly meeting, or mail them with a check to:

Come to a Wednesday first. Rum Races are open to everyone, member or not, and there is usually a boat looking for crew.
Email fla.lmsa@gmail.com or call (321) 578-8364.
Common questions
Do I need to own a boat?
No. Members are often short-handed and looking for help, so joining is the best way onto other people’s boats. See crewing.
Can I race without joining?
Yes, in the Wednesday Rum Race and the Jameson Sunday Race. Non-members are scored separately and aren’t eligible for prizes; the monthly club races are members-only.
I’ve never sailed. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Come to the ramp around an hour before posted times, find the race committee, and say you’d like to sail.
What does the club expect from members?
Take a turn when you can. Members share race committee duty, and events are run by volunteers.
