Sail - Blue Fin, Shilshole Bay Marina

Racing Blue Fin on the Puget Sound to fight hunger

  • Moderate

Shilshole Bay Marina Slip E-19

Lets meet at the E dock gate at 10:30 am

 

We will be racing in the Seattle Singles Yacht Club's "Northwest Harvest Benefit Race"  This should be an easy race as I don't fly a spinnaker. First start is at noon and we should be back to the dock about 3 or 4. This is a food drive so any non-perishable food you could donate would be appreciated as well. There is also an optional dinner and dance at the Ballard Elks as part of the event. Let's go racing!

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
  • Sunscreen
  • Knife on lanyard
  • Whistle on a lanyard
  • Food and drink
  • Headlamp or flashlight
