What to Expect

Come right at 5:30. We will have partially rigged boats ready so we can get on the water as soon as possible.You will need to bring a Personal flotation device (PFD), close toed shoes for sailing (no rubber boots but crocs are OK) and a change of clothes as you will get wet. We do advise bringing a wetsuit if you have one. The program will run rain or shine although if a large storm is coming through we may postpone an evening.

 

FRIDAY FUN RACES

Once again this year we will be running fun races on Friday nights in our club 420s. The cost will be $20 per boat ($10 per person), dates TBD. There are 10 boats available, which will be given out on a first come first served basis each night. Best of all, everyone including Junior sailors and non members are welcome. The race courses will be simple "Windward-Leewards", and will surely be fun for all. Be sure to remember your PFD.
