Take your sailboat to join the race or just watch the races each Thursday from July 22 through Aug. 12 on the Puget Sound in Des Moines.<\/p>\n
The fifth annual Mid-Sound Summer Sailing Social raises funds for Hospitality House and the Des Moines Food Bank. The fun races are hosted by the Three Tree Point Yacht Club, The Poverty Bay Power Squadron and the Des Moines Marina.<\/p>\n
Races start at 7 p.m. and are followed by food, beverages, prizes and fun after each race at the Des Moines Marina guest dock. Any boat finishing by 8:30 p.m. is eligible for prizes.<\/p>\n
Each evening has a different theme. On July 29, the club will honor local police and fire departments by inviting the officers and firemen and their families to a fun evening of sailing.<\/p>\n
On Aug. 5, the Poverty Bay Power Squadron members will join in the activities with their power boats. Local dignitaries will be invited to participate on Aug. 12, the final evening of sailing.<\/p>\n
Racers and fans can donate at the events to Hospitality House or the Des Moines Food Bank, which will have booths at the marina.<\/p>\n
The goal of the yacht club is to promote affordable family boating for enjoyment while increasing appreciation for the waters of Puget Sound and awareness of the need to care for those waters.<\/p>\n
