Welcome to the Training Sail session of the Seattle Mountaineers Sailing Course!  Please read the information below prior to the session.

s/v Balance is located on E dock at Shilshole Bay Marina - 7001 Seaview Ave NW, Seattle, WA 98117. The docks are in alphabetical order with “A” at the south end and “V” at the north end.  Park near “E” dock close to the street. 

Meet at the top of "E" dock on Sunday, April 28 at 9:50am. The session will begin promptly at 10:00am so if you are running late please call my cell at 206-660-0133.

The weather is anticipated to be windy with a chance of rain.  s/v Balance performs really well in these conditions!  Bring rain gear and wear non-marking shoes. Unless the weather worsens this activity will meet. If it is cancelled, I will call you at the phone number you signed up with.

The session will potentially last until 4-5pm.  Bring a water bottle and snacks for yourself.   We will not be rafting up on this sail.   

See you Sunday and please reach out if you have questions!

The Sailing Essentials

Don’t leave the dock without these items! They make sailing safer for you and your crewmates. As a carrier, use a soft duffel bag for easy stowing without metal buckles that can scratch woodwork.

  • Non-skid deck shoes (or sea boots) with non-marking soles.
  • Heavy-duty gloves (preferably leather) for line handling (fingertips cut off is OK).
  • Warm clothing head to foot (Note: The ambient temperature on the water is usually lower than on land).
  • Foul-weather gear
  • Sunglasses
  • Food and drink
