By Jill Hawk.St. Augustine Race Week 2016 was held March 30 - April 3, 2016 along the Bayfront, Matanzas River, and offshore. The five day Regatta is St. Augustine's signature spring sailing event and is hosted by the St. Augustine Yacht Club as a member of the First Coast Sailing Association.
What made this year special was the introduction of the Paddleboard Racing Series held on the Bayfront along Avienda Menendez. This event was coordinated by the Saint Augustine Lifesaving Association (members are among the dedicated members of the St. John's County Fire Rescue - Marine Rescue unit) and First Coast Outdoor Fit. The race series included 1/4 mile sprints, a technical course and a two mile distance race past the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument.
This sketch was completed during the first day of competition for the paddle boards while racers were signing up for the sprint event.
