Meet at the boat, slip Q5 Shilshole at 5:30PM.

Our start is at 6:20, and the race is sponsored by the Sloop Tavern Yacht Club

Join 3 or 4 members of my crew as we compete in the 4th race of the Ballard Cup II series. The race usually takes about 1 1/2 hours, depending on the wind. Bring finger food if you want to, but go easy. We probaly wont have time to eat during the race, and afterwards we will probably head back in to the dock.

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
