Try before you buy: Join a group sail

Experience sailing out of the Redwood Channel! All boats are skippered by an instructor, and we run the group sails on the same boats that we use for classes. You decide how much you want to participate. No previous sailing knowledge or special equipment is needed.

Afternoon Sail

Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays 12:30-4:30

Depending on the tides and wind, we try to the San Mateo Bridge and back, which gives participants a chance to experience sailing in the San Francisco Bay.
