Little Sumpin’ at Crew Party Tonight

Latitude 38’s totally live sailing app is hacking the digital world tonight only with our Fall Crew List Party to bring together people who want to sail with people who have sailboats. Intimate setting? Nah, it’s a boatyard. Between bandsaws and boat ramp lies the historic Spaulding Marine Center in Sausalito, which hosted our terribly fun 2017 event.

Nothing like a boatyard bash. It’s a great venue with food, beer and wine and lots of old and new sailing friends.

Many in attendance are on their way south, to the Baja Ha-Ha and Mexico, while others are looking to daysail or race on San Francisco Bay. For cruisers headed south there is a Mexico Cruising Seminar from 4 to 5:45 p.m. put on by experts Dick Markie of Paradise Village Marina and Geronimo Cevallos of Marina El Cid. At 5:45 we’ll clear the hall and re-open at 6 p.m. to let the sailing networking begin. Every sailor gets a nametag letting people know "I am looking TO crew," or "I am looking FOR crew." No sailing experience is required, but be clear about your interests, skills and desires.

A free beer to the first 100 people who show up for the 4 p.m. cruising seminar. Yes, last year there were too many attendees for everyone to get a free beer!

The seminar’s free but the Crew Party is $10 (cash only) — or just $5 if you happen to 25 or under (with photo ID). A buffet of appetizers and a door prize drawing are included in the price of admission.

You’ll meet folks like Michelle and John Zeratsky who have been south of border on their Outbound 46 Pineapple ever since this photo was taken, and Sylvia Stompe who’s back from two years cruising the South Pacific and now working with the Educational Tall Ship for San Francisco.

Put on a name tag and chat up a neighbor to find sailing opportunities on the Bay or beyond.

Invite some friends by sharing our Facebook link so they can join you sailing this fall. Over the years thousands of sailors have sailed hundreds of thousands of miles after meeting up at a Latitude 38 Crew Party.

Good people and good swag will be on hand.

If you’re coming for the seminar or party, we ask you to help the neighbors and not park in Clipper Yacht Harbor or Fish Restaurant parking areas. You can see a local parking map here.

Generally there’s a Little Sumpin’ for everyone at the Crew Party.

We look forward to seeing whoever’s passing through and whoever wants to meet up and go sailing at the Crew Party tonight.
