Spinnaker Sailing's South Bay Opening Day Celebration

The Blessing of the Fleet
During the boat parade, A local priest will give a speach and bless the fleet for good luck this sailing season.

Opening Day Parade
From 11:00am to 12:00pm local boat owners, schools and clubs will dress up boats and parade them in front of the Viewing pier. You are invited to vote on the best boat, and watch them sail or motor by. This can be lots of fun as some of the local schools decorate their boats like, and pardon the pun, "floats".

Afternoon Sail
Participants may charter one of Spinnaker Sailing boats and join the flotilla or sign up as an individual (or couple) to sail on a yacht skippered by one of our instructors. The flotilla will set sail Saturday morning and head for San Francisco to spend the night at South Beach Harbor or other marina. After dining out in San Francisco and staying over night on the boat, there's time to explore the North Bay before returning to Redwood City on Sunday. Capacity on boats with skippers is 4 - 6 individuals. It's a great way to get sailing time, learn the North Bay, and have fun with other sailors. The cost is $65 per person. Club members are Free!
