Dear Adaptive Sailing Community,
Happy Spring! It's that fantastic time of year again: sailing season!
My hope is that you've all gotten through this last difficult year, and are ready to get on the water.
This year, we are offering sailing events in the Spring and Fall. (Fall events are not yet scheduled; we will schedule them once we have a clear idea of COVID-19 risks at that time.)
We have Sailing Events on the calendar;
Please be sure to register soon, as spaces are limited!
A few words about COVID-19: we are continuing to follow protocols (mask wearing, hand washing, social distancing), so this Spring, we will still sail in the Hansa Dinghies without sailing "buddies." We continue to offer the same quality coaching and safety boat presence.
We continue to require masks while on the docks for all programming. If you are sailing in a dinghy alone or with a member of your household, you may remove your mask.
As we all become vaccinated, and our volunteer skippers are ready to sail with those outside of their household, we will make our Sonar keelboats available for events.
I appreciate everyone's patience
as we move through unchartered waters!
Please reach out to Rena by email (rena@downtownsailing.org)
if you are interested in sailing on a Sonar, if they become available, and you will be placed on a waitlist. Please include the number of sailors, whether or not you are vaccinated, and if you are able to wear a mask for an extended period. (We will not turn you away if you haven't yet been vaccinated.) Again, this will be based on available volunteer skippers.
