Meet at the boat; Shilshole, slip Q-5 at 5:30PM, for a quick safety briefing and ready to learn.

Looking for 3 or 4 Mountaineers sailing badge holders as we learn to fly the spinnaker and perhaps race in the Sloop Tavern Yacht Club sponsored "Take Your Time Fridays" event. This is a more casual race with about 20 boats registered. We will be flying the spinnaker if the winds allow, and are usually back around 8:30pm or so, depending on the wind.

Bring whatever you want to eat or drink, but remember we will be training, so there may not be a lot of time to eat. Food may be shared if we have time or after the race, depending on the time.

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
