Go Sailing!

WYC provides many ways to get out on the water.  But first you have to stop reading the web and get down to the water!

For members who know nothing about sailing, we offer a comprehensive lessons program.  We will teach you how to sail, and soon you will be sailing our boats unsupervised, with confidence.

For members who know a thing or two about sailing, our chiefs program allows members to demonstrate skills in front of experienced club members and test out of lessons.  It's a quick and easy way to earn a rating, and get permission to sail our boats unsupervised.  You can also take the written tests during office hours in the HUB.

For members working towards a rating and needing some practice before taking the test, look for ratings examiner hours or chief's hours which are frequently posted on the calendar, web, and/or on one of the WYC e-mail lists.  These hours are for members to practice sailing or take tests.  If you can't make those hours, e-mail one of the active chiefs and set up a time for supervised sailing or test taking.

Club cruises and "crew wanted" requests are usually announced on the WYC email list.  Join the wyc list and stay informed.

And finally, once a quarter (except winter quarter) the club organizes a large flotilla and sails to Blake Island for an overnight cruise.  Read about the Snooze n Cruise here.
