What to
Bring
San
Francisco Bay (Alameda & Pier 39)
Sailing in San Francisco
Bay is an adventure like no other. Beautiful landscapes
surround an exceptional sailing venue. Part of the appeal of
San Francisco Bay is the dramatic variety of conditions that we can
expect to encounter on any given day. With this in mind, we
advise sailors to some prepared for a range of conditions.
Layered clothing is the best way to accomplish this! While
shorts and a T-shirt will suffice for the South Bay and are perfect
for when we are working hard on those downwind legs, you will
probably want a jacket, long pants, and/or wind breaker (or foul
weather gear) if the wind chill kicks
in.
Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta and the
Banderas Bay region is known for the wonderfully warm sailing
conditions which prevail on a regular basis. So when packing
for Puerto Vallarta, think sun protection. Hat, sunglasses,
sunscreen, and extra water/drinks are a must. Light clothes
(in weight and color) are advisable too...
What to
Expect
Typically, we plan on spending
about between one and one-and-a-half hours each morning in a classroom environment. But
we are firm believers that being a competent sailor depends on lots
of real world experience, so we will hasten to wrap up the talking
early so that we can go SAILING! We
attempt to finish our discussions and lectures by 10:30am, then head
out to the boats and sail for the rest of the day. We
strive to be back at the dock around 4:30 pm, and all wrapped up by about 5pm each
day.
Please plan on eating
lunch on the
water each day. You may bring a lunch, or get one from
a local delis/cafe. We'll take a brief break after lecture and
before sailing which can be used to order some food...
