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.
Next Introductory Sails will be in 2010! At our next Open House in May next year, we'll once again offer Introductory Sails, 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. This year our club skippers and helpers introduced nearly 5,000 people to sailing on the San Francisco Bay.
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: 80 PFD's, 2 more Bahias, 13 more beginning windsurfing boards and sails, and new dinghy sails.
