The Pacific Single Handed Sailing Association (PSSA) was founded in 1980 to organize single and doublehanded sailing among Southern California sailors. It is the organizing authority for two five-race series: the Dan Byrne Series in the winter and spring seasons and the Dave Wall Series in the summer and fall seasons. These races range from 15 to 165 nautical miles in length and include single and doublehanded classes. Usually every other year it holds the Guadalupe Island Race that runs about 600 nautical miles down the coast of Southern California and Mexico and back. PSSA is a member of US Sailing, the Southern California Yachting Association, and Association of Santa Monica Bay Yacht Clubs. It does not own a clubhouse, Committee Boat, or other assets, but has had a friendship with the South Coast Corinthian Yacht Club for many years, who graciously lends PSSA space for skipper’s meetings and other events.
