Angel Island Sail

TBD, 2026

Whether you come as a captain or a passanger, this is a fantastic and fun SEA day on the water. Last year we had more than 25 people in a large number of boats. Note for those interested in captaining an SEA boat, we don’t take Catalinas to Angel Island as it’s too far and they are too slow. We will take our Harbor 20s and if you are checked out on those boats you can sign up to captain one.

  • Cost: Free for members, but $20.00 parking fee need to be paid per boat, please provide donations to your captain to cover this cost.

Tentative Schedule

  • 9-10am - boats get ready at Loch Lomond Marina

  • 10am-12pm - Everyone sails to Angel Island where we moor our boats at the marina
    There is a $20.00 fee per boat is payable to the park ranger at the marina entrance.

Members and their guests can take or crew SEA boats or join on other captain's boats. For those sailing, we will leave from Loch Lomond and then raft up and go ashore to participate in the festivities at China Camp State Park. Others may drive and meet us at the Park.

We will leave from Loch Lomond and then raft up and go ashore to participate in the festivities at China Camp State Park. If you just want to come for the lunch, you can drive to China Camp and meet us there.

As new seminars are created they will be added here.

Maintenance Seminars

We occasionally offer seminars on boat maintenance to members. These seminars are taught by members who have sailboat maintenance experience and are interested in offering their knowledge to our community.

Whenever possible we try to incorporate hands-on elements using our own fleet so we can both give people a chance to try out new skills and also use these seminars as an opportunity to take care of some of our own maintenance needs.

When available we invite you to join us for a fun skill-building experience.

    • Dates: TBD

Liability statement for community sailing events with non-SEA boats

Sailing Education Adventures (SEA) occasionally helps to facilitate community sailing events and informal gatherings as part of our mission to support and grow the local sailing community. 

At these events, participants may sail privately owned vessels or non-SEA boats. At such events, SEA does not provide insurance coverage or assume liability for any activities involving non-SEA boats. Individuals who choose to participate in such activities do so at their own risk and discretion.

SEA is not the formal host or sponsor of these community gatherings and does not supervise or manage the use or condition of any non-SEA vessels. We encourage all participants to exercise good judgment and follow standard safety practices when on the water.

If any participant wishes to sail in an SEA-owned boat during one of these events, they must complete a current SEA Release of Liability and Medical Information Form (or must have submitted one within the past year). Participation in SEA boats is not permitted without a completed form on file.

Thank you for helping us keep community sailing safe, enjoyable, and clearly defined.
