The Crew Party is all about making sailing connections in a relaxed, social setting. Make sure your name is on the crew list here.

THE SEMINAR

We will hold our annual cruising seminar for Baja Ha-Ha sailors and cruisers preparing to head south.

• 3:30 p.m. – Doors open for the cruising seminar

• 4 p.m. – 5 p.m. – Seminar runs

• 5 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. – Half-hour Q&A session

This year's fall Crew Party will be an information-packed afternoon. We're excited to present our annual Mexico cruising seminar featuring Baja Sur Tourism. 'Assistant Poobah' Patsy Verhoeven will share experiences from her numerous decades of sailing her Gulfstar 50 Talion in the last 15 Baja Ha-Ha's.

We'll have tables from Baja Ha-Ha sponsors to answer questions about heading south, while Spaulding will run the bar to benefit their programs, and the Casablanca Mediterranean food truck will be parked outside.

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 offer a no-host 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, come as you are.
