Baja Ha-Ha Latitude 38 Fall Crew Party

Latitude 38 is excited to have the annual Latitude 38 Fall Crew List Party, for the Baja Ha-Ha and beyond, returning to Spaulding Marine Center in Sausalito on the evening of Thursday, September 7.

Come connect with sailors and skippers to find local community and plan your next cruising adventure!

THE SEMINAR

We will hold our annual cruising seminar for Baja Ha-Ha sailors and cruisers preparing to head south. The seminar will run from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. with half an hour of Q&A from 5 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Doors will open for the cruising seminar at 3:30 p.m.

Call of the Sea will offer tours of the tall ship Matthew Turner for Latitude 38 Fall Crew List Party guests from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The Matthew Turner is located in front of the Bay Model, about a 10-minute walk from Spaulding Marine Center or a short drive.

THE PARTY

The Fall Crew List Party will be from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The event will be mostly outside, in the Spaulding Marine Center boat yard, with vendor tables set up inside. (This is Sausalito — so please dress in layers!) Casablanca Mediterranean Food Truck will serve from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Spaulding will host the bar, with all proceeds going to benefit their education programs.

Vendors will be on hand to answer your questions about cruising and heading south to Mexico, along with local partners who want to help you get sailing in the Bay. San Francisco Sailing Science Center will set up an entertaining and educational exhibit.

Our crew parties are geared towards helping people find sailing opportunities for cruising, racing or daysailing. The Fall Crew List party is ideal for boat owners seeking crew who want to head south to Mexico and for crew who want to do the same. It’s also well suited for folks looking for midwinter racing crew or anyone who just wants to sail the Bay.

Everyone is welcome, no reservations required, come as you are.
