Frequently Asked Questions

How often and when do you sail?

We aim to have 1-2 social sails per month mainly on the weekends. However, in colder months events are limited to more experienced sailors.

Do I need to know how to sail to participate?

Not at all! We welcome members of all skill levels, from complete beginners to seasoned racers. We offer training and guidance to help you get started.

What do I need to bring to sailing events?

Comfortable clothes that can get wet, a windbreaker or waterproof jacket, non-slip shoes (or old sneakers), sunscreen, and a hat. We provide life jackets.
