Training/Experience Sails

Field trip: Basic Crewing/Sailing Course

Training/Experience Sails - Solleone, Everett Marina, South Basin

This event will meet the requirements for the Mountaineers Basic Keel Boat Sailing programs “On the Water Sail” session.

  • Easy
  • Easy

The session will include all aspects of leaving the dock, safety on the water, sail trim and management, and boat docking. June is the end of the Grey Whale watching season in Port Gardner Bay, but Orcas and Humpbacks are frequently seen, and the sailing route will take in the most likely places to encounter them. Small Craft Advisory or adverse conditions may cancel the sail event, at the skipper’s discretion. Plan to arrive a few minutes early as a $2.00 parking fee must be paid on site or on-line after 2 hours. Please bring non-marking sole shoes, your personal floatation device (PFD) if you have one, and appropriate outerwear based on the days weather forecast. (current forecast is for light wind and 74 degrees). You may bring any food that is “day sail boating compatible” (does not require heating, will not make a mess on deck) if you wish.

Location: Port of Everett, South Docks, Gate A, slip A-15 Meet at the gate on the north side of the Anthony’s Restaurant (Not the Fireside Restaurant) in Everett.
