Sausalito or Berkeley Site Orientation Sails

The Site Orientation Sail is an opportunity for members who were certified to charter at one location to get oriented with the unique aspects of sailing out of the other location.

In Sausalito, sailors will learn and practice crosswind docking in a single slip including crew using the lassoing technique with dock lines.

In Berkeley, you’ll learn how to do downwind dockings in a double slip as well as become familiar with the hazards and unique aspects of navigating in and out of the Berkeley Marina.

Upon successful completion of this clinic, members will be qualified to charter out of both locations in accordance with the Fleet Rating that they achieved at one location. The minimum prerequisite for this clinic is Silver Fleet rating or ASA 103 Certification.

Read the Berkeley Orientation Guide or the Sausalito Orientation Guide if you plan on sailing out of either site.

  • $100 for Fleet Rated Members

Duration: 1/2 day, 1pm-5pm

Testimonials

  • Warren Leiden, Member

    I try to get out on the water every week: out the Gate, around Angel, up Raccoon - I love it all. After 18 years as a member of OCSC in Berkeley, I learned to sail the bigger boats at Modern by taking ASA 103 and 104. My ASA 104 instructor Dave Russell was terrific. Also, Captain Bill Moreland has been very generous in giving informal advice whenever I’ve asked him. Thanks to Bill, I no longer have any anxiety about docking!

    Captain Jeff Cathers is really cool. I had such a great time on the Farallones Day Trip. It was actually my very best day of 2020. Thank you so much for coordinating the trip.

    I would like to compliment Stan Lander for his coaching, counseling and teaching Heavy Weather Offshore Sailing. Stan was very accommodating to all of the student's interests and shared his many years of insight on handling the boat in heavy seas. I would certainly recommend Stan and this course to sheltered waters sailors. My confidence in handling a boat of this size was certainly enhanced by the experience.
