EVENTS PLANNED FOR 2026
The events below are available for member participation: there will be a notice for each event to which you can respond and show interest.
Blue Sky Sailing Club members benefit from participating in planned events which are scheduled during the sailing season. In addition to the scheduled events, other events may be planned with short notice. The exception is for overnight events when the skipper (either owner or renter) will invite/select crew so that every body is comfortable sharing close quarters in the live aboard situation. If you are unsure how that works, ask a skipper.
It’s still early in the season, some events may be subject to change. We are investigating technical solutions at this point to allow members to sign up for events, updates will be provided when available.
Note: all BSSC weekend events have a meet-up time of 9:45 am, and a departure time of 10:00 am.
