Training and cruising: spring and summer fun for sailors
The Sailing Club, Inc. has a full schedule planned for this season, and we invite all interested people to sign up for one or more of our trips, which utilize bareboat charter vessels. We are grateful to our club-certified skippers and first mates and our excellent safety record over the years.
On Water Training, May 16-17: A weekend devoted to boat systems review, lines and line handling, boat handling under power and sail. Hands-on practice with experienced teachers. $450
Mallorca, Spain, June 6-13: A week of cruising the northern and eastern coasts of this popular Mediterranean island. $1250.
Celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States in Baltimore, June 25-29: Tall ships, naval vessels, a Blue Angels airshow, Coast Guard rescue demonstrations, and a variety of music festivals. We’re including two quiet nights at anchor bracketing the celebration. $950
Three-day weekend cruise, August 15-17: Cruise from Rock Hall, MD to two beautiful anchorages. A time to enjoy the Chesapeake and socialize each evening. $650
Chesapeake cruising at its best, September 17-23: Rock Hall to Oxford, MD. We’ll moor in Annapolis Harbor, sail to the Choptank River via the fun (and sometimes nail-biting!) shortcut through the Knapps Narrows, and spend a day in Oxford, one of Maryland’s oldest and most charming waterfront towns. $1200
The Sailing Club, Inc. has been teaching safe sailing for more than 40 years. We share both the work and the fun. All trip participants work as crew members, helping to the best of their knowledge and abilities. Learn more at thesailingclub.org.
