Cal Sailing Club

Introductory Sails At our Open Houses we offer an opportunity  to put on a personal flotation device (aka lifejacket) and learn first hand how to enjoy safe, non-polluting fun on a sailboat.  Sign up in front of the clubhouse between 1 and 4 pm.  Children must be 5 or over and accompanied by parent or guardian.  Bring a change of clothes, strap for eyeglasses or sunglasses, and a change of clothes in case you get soaked!  Here's the schedule for 2010.

Big thanks to Cal Boating (California Department of Boating and Waterways) for funding a ton of new equipment for our boating and windsurfing safety classes, including our Introductory Sails: Two new outboard motors for our safety boats, sixty new wetsuits, twelve new beginner windsurf boards and sails, and a new trainer dinghy sailboat.

Gift Certificates now available! Give someone one that special gift of getting out on our beautiful bay with a CSC membership.  Click here to purchase.

Much thanks to Damian Lucas for the directing, producing and editing of our new CSC instructional video!   "How to Come About"

New Racks 'n' LOCKERS!

Big thanks to Bobby, Micah, Stephan, Steven, et al for the new windsurf container redesign and the new lockers and board rack outside the board hospital.

Saturday morning sailing lessons will now start at 10am and run until 1pm.  Changing from the previous 9am start.  Instructors please try to arrive by 10am to get things moving!

Learn to Windsurf! Lessons for beginners start 10:30 am Saturday morning (weather permitting) with land demonstrations, moving to the water around 11:00 a.m. for two hours of practice.  You must be in the yard by 10:30 in order to go on the water with the group, this means you need to show up by 10 if you have not yet joined the club, and 10:15 if you signed up online but still need to get your membership card.  Study up before hand with Bill P's new How to Windsurf Guide; there is a LOT of information here which will serve you for quite some time; you will need only a small fraction of this to have a fun, effective first day on our great beginner equipment.

Thursday JY Racing has ended this season and will start again in April.  Open to all members, regardless of rating or racing experience.  Come on down to the club for a relaxed evening of fun and racing, rigging starts at 5:00 pm and racing starts at 6:00 pm.
