Come to Open Sailing Hours on the weekends!


Open Sailing hours hosted by our Ratings Examiners will be every weekend:
Saturdays: 12 noon - 5 PM
Sundays: 12 noon - 5 PM
On weekend holidays, keep in mind that hours may be canceled due to Ratings Examiner availability.

Drop by the Waterfront Activities Center during these times or email to set up an appointment: ratings@washingtonyachtclub.org

During Open Sailing Hours you can:
* Begin learning how to sail even before your first lesson
* Keep practicing
* Take a ratings test (written and on-the-water) if you already know how to sail
* Get signed out on boats or in wind conditions for which you do not have the appropriate rating
* Or just go sailing!

Work Parties

are Thursday evenings from 5 - 8 at the Waterfront Activities Center. All skill levels are welcome, including any of you who want to learn something new. We encourage you to come to at least one work party this season to learn hands-on boat repair.

Hey folks.

Weather data is online. This just came together, so there may be some hiccups...if you see a lack of data, please email me so I can look into solving the problem to make the system more robust in the future. Big thanks to Warren for doing a ton of troubleshooting and patching buggy wview code.

For the moment, we are just streaming to weather underground and using their charts. We have a simple/short idea for doing our own custom charts on our own site...if you want to be involved, let me know.

Thanks!
