Coming back from July 5 social sail

Social sails are open to all members and their invited guests. Each member, guest and the skipper volunteer of club boats will pay $15 or $10 if they have prepaid a package of 10 sails. Social sails are approximately two to three hours long. Payment is in cash or e-transfer prior to casting off and there are no refunds. If there are insufficient places for all members and guests, members will be given priority. Guests are asked to complete and sign a damages/insurance waiver.

To avert fire risk on board and in consideration of all club members and guests, smoking or other sorts of flame are not permitted onboard. Similarly, in consideration of other members, children under 13 and pets cannot be taken on a social sail. Youth under 18 should be accompanied by an adult. Families are welcome to take pets and younger children on board when they have rented a boat.
