How to Join the Club?

To join our sailing club, you need to fill out a membership application form available on our website. After submitting the form, you will be contacted by our membership coordinator to discuss the next steps, including payment of the membership fee and orientation sessions.

What Are the Club Hours?

The sailing club is open from 9 AM to 6 PM on weekdays and from 8 AM to 7 PM on weekends. During the sailing season, we also host special events and activities, so be sure to check our calendar for updates.

What is Sailing?

Sailing is the art of using the wind to propel a boat or ship across water. It involves navigating and controlling the vessel using sails, which catch the wind and convert its energy into forward motion. Sailing can be a recreational activity, a competitive sport, or a means of transportation.

What Equipment Do I Need?

As a beginner, you will need basic sailing gear, including a life jacket, appropriate clothing for the weather, and non-slip shoes. If you do not have your own sailing equipment, our club provides boats and safety gear for members during training sessions.
