SEA’s ongoing sailing opportunities for graduates of Beginning Sailing and Sail Camp classes are invited to join us for Open Sails. Participants must be members or complete a guest pass. Open Sail participants can use the SEA small boats like the Quests, Catalinas, and Zests based off of their checkout status. Are available to tow sailboats out and back from the dock and are on the water in a safety boat for the whole open-sail period.
Requirements: You must be a member or a guest of a member during open sail and have completed the appropriate checkout for the boat you plan to sail.
Dates and Times: Open sails are from 10-2 in the spring, summer, and fall, and from 12-3 in the winter. All dates and times are listed in our calendar.
Location: Loch Lomond Marina
Cost: Open sail is free for members. Members who want to bring guests pay $20 per guest.

Purchasing a keelboat membership entitles you to use our keelboats on the bay. Use of keelboats requires completion of an extensive checkout process. This membership also covers use of Catalinas during open sail. You must review and agree to the terms.
Benefits: Unlimited use of keelboats (pending availability)
Requirements: Members must be fully checked-out on any vessel chartered. Overnight or unauthorized use of keelboats is not permitted.

To better facilitate member to member connections for sailing, SEA has created a new crew email group. This is for SEA members who are looking to crew or looking for crew whether for sailing SEA boats or their own.
If you are looking for someone to join you at open sail, or want someone to come out with you on our keelboat, or have your own boat and are looking for people to join you - this group is for you!
If you are trying to get out sailing more often and don't know who else is looking to sail, or you want to get more time on the water, but feel like you need to go out with someone more experienced - this group is for you!

Member Events
Workdays, seminars, and field trips
SEA volunteers occasionally offer members additional educational and engagement opportunities including
Workdays to help maintain our fleet: A great way to learn about how to care for our boats, get to know other members, and help keep us afloat at the same time.
Seminars to learn more about sailing and sailboats: There’s always more to learn about sailing. Our board and many volunteers have decades of experience to share. We plan to offer casional seminars about different topics.
Field trips around the bay: There is a much larger community of sailing clubs and sailing organizations around the Bay area. We plan to offer field trips to other clubs and destinations.
