Join us for a hands-on evening where you’ll get to step onto real racing sailboats, meet local skippers, and try your hand at sailing skills like hoisting sails, grinding winches, and trimming lines. It's a relaxed, low-pressure way to see what being part of a sailing crew is all about.

Whether you’re just curious or ready to dive in, this is your chance to learn the ropes (literally) and see if sailing’s for you.
