Got a Date? We Want To Share It With Our Community
Does your club, class or organization have an event coming up in March? Make sure you have the date in the March calendar by emailing the “who, what, when, where” and contact information to [email protected]. Beyond racing, there’s always lots happening on and off the waterfront for sailors.
The South Bay Yacht Club in Alviso is promoting a BIG clearout. They emailed the calendar item, saying, “We have lots of nautical gear, including some older Sunfish, big boat hardware, sails, etc. We plan to have a giant nautical yard sail [sic] on Saturday, March 28, 10–6, and all proceeds will go to our Sea Scout Ship. (In the UK, I would call this a ‘Boat Jumble’; what’s the best term in the US?)” We’d say “Nautical Flea Market.” They also added it to our Free Classifieds for items under $1,000.
You’ll also find, for the racing-curious, the Intro to Racing webinars put on by the YRA, starting in early March. Racing is one of the best ways to tune up your sailing skills, though getting enrolled and learning the ropes can appear daunting. If you attend this seminar, you’ll learn how to connect with racing and find yourself doing more sailing all season long. Also for the racing-curious is the Latitude 38 Crew List Party on March 5, at the Golden Gate Yacht Club.
This coming weekend, February 14–16, Shoreline Lake is casting off for three days of family fun with a range of watercraft available for rent including sailboats, rowboats, kayaks, pedal boats and SUP boards, plus bicycles, scooters and more. Classes and skippered sailboat rides have also begun. Sailing classes range from Introductory to Advanced, and Racing, so anyone wanting to try out sailing can book a lesson or a ride.
It’s also important to know that today is February 9, and the deadline to get items into our March calendar is February 10. What does your club, class or organization have going on in March?
