Sailors are expected to sail independently, there's a safety boat and instructor on water to assist if needed. Camp/course grads are invited to bring guests along in their boats. (Guests must be large enough to fit a 30-50 lb. life vest.)
You must have completed a course with ACSC within the last 2 years or pass a checkout to participate. The Boat Checkout consists of a written knowledge test and an on-water skills check.
Open Sail is weather-permitting. We sail in less than 15mph winds.
