SEA’s ongoing sailing opportunities for graduates of Intro to Sailing and Sail Camp classes are invited to join us for Open Sails. Participants need to be members and purchase a Sail Card. Open Sail participants can use the SEA small boats like the Quests, Catalinas, and Zests. Some open sails include fun activities like tours of other sailing clubs or informal races. Hosts for open-sails provide help with rigging. Are available to tow sailboats out and back from the dock and are on the water in a safety boat for the whole open-sail period.

In order to offer open sailing on the SEA fleet of Catalinas, RS Quests, and Picos, SEA offers members Sail Cards. Sail Cards are an inexpensive way to get out on the water in our fleet as often as you want.

• Price: $75 adult / $50 youth (<18). There are 5 sign-off slots on the card. You can use your Sail Card for Open Sails or for Member Sails on SEA’s larger boats. Youth Sail Cards are good for Catalina/RS Quest o”. Youth Sail Cards are good for Catalina/RS Quest or Pico sailing.

• Requirements: You must be a member to purchase a Sail Card and have either completed Intro to Sailing or Checkout. Youth must have completed Sail Camp Basic or attend Open Sail with a parent.

• Dates and Times: Open sails are from 10-2 in the spring, summer, and fall, and from 12-3 in the winter. All dates and times are listed in our calendar.

• Location: Loch Lomond Marina

• Cost: One Sail Card Slot, must be a Member of SEA.

Purchasing an Adventure card entitles you to use our keelboat Tackful on the bay with the same restrictions imposed on the Charter sails. You will need to contact Joe so he can put it on the schedule. In addition, the cardholder can go to any Open Sail or Mentoring Sail and not be charged.

The Adventure Card will be of most interest to anyone wanting to charter SEA Charter Boats several times per year. Or for those who anticipate being checked out soon and who want free mentoring sails and free open sails in the meantime.

• Duration: valid for one year from the purchase date, running concurrently with membership.

For parents of younger kids (8-10) We are now offering drop-off sailing during SEA Open Sail.

We know some parents can't come out for sailing, but their kids are really interested in staying active. 

On the following dates we will have one of our experienced youth counselors on hand along with our usual adult hosts. You can sign up and drop off your kid for a ~3 hr sailing experience. The counselor will work with kids to rig a Catalina and head out for a couple of hours.

NOTE: In order to accommodate this approach, we need a minimum number of sign-ups (3). If we don’t have enough participants in time (1 week before the date) we may cancel that date. In case of cancelation we will provide a full refund for that date.

• Price: $40/open-sail (includes sail card cost)

• Participants: 4 kids max with a counselor on board.

• Dates (Saturdays): 9/28, 10/26, 11/9, 12/14 (more to come in 2025)

• Time: Drop off at the start of Open Sail (10am or 12pm depending on the time of year)

You can take out one of our kayaks anytime if you have been checked out by Joe. Send an email to president@sfsailing.org to reserve them and also let us know when you are back.

Coming soon
