Fall Sailing

Fall is Here!


As the Sun moves south and the air temperatures get cooler, the wind conditions here on the bay generally get lighter. This provides a great opportunity to get out for some light air sailing. These conditions demand optimal sail trim and wind recognition. This is also a great time of year to invite non-sailors and friends and family for a comfortable day on the bay. For those of you who have completed the spinnaker class, this is also the time of year to break out this sail and get some practice in forgiving conditions.

Although less frequent, there can be days when the wind blows stronger. Keep an eye on the weather reports or give us a call to see how the day is shaping up. Generally there is good wind on the front or backside of a frontal system moving through our area.
