"There is something nearly meditative to be on the ocean, in front of the grandiose element and view of water all around you," says MSC club member Yves Lermusiaux after 17 days of sailing across the Atlantic Ocean.
"Sailing is everything. Being on the water, the accomplishment of setting the sails well, the freedom of movement without an engine… everything about sailing is perfect," says Jen Philips, former student and member of Modern Sailing.

Need a healthy dose of inspiration to start the new year? You'll see what's possible for sailors from all walks of life to achieve when you read the updates for sailors we've spotlighted in 2020-21 and 2 new stories!
It's no fun when your water tanks run dry during a multi-day sailing charter or passage. Time wasted at the dock refilling water tanks could be better spent out on the water enjoying nature and the magic of sailing!
Club Sails are a great way for club members to make new friends, learn, and practice while sailing the beautiful San Francisco Bay. There are no certifications or experience required to join a Club Sail. With a wide variety of Club Sails, there's something fun to fit every sailor's schedule!

Prior to joining MSC, Timmy harbored an intense fascination with sailboats and sailing, which he indulged by insatiably consuming videos and books on the subject - but he’d never sailed before. Four years later, Timmy is embarking on the adventure of a lifetime - sailing the world with his wife Ari Davalos and their Chihuahua Papi on a boat of their own.
Regardless of your crew’s experience level, you’ll increase your odds of a safe and enjoyable sail and enable your crew members to cope with unforeseen challenges by providing a thorough predeparture safety briefing.
Having grown up with power boats in Massachusetts, Koren spent a lot of her life around boats and on the water – but had never been on a sailboat until only a few years ago.

Better late than never! Don has always loved being in, on, and under water. He first became interested in sailing decades ago, but kept putting it off. With the support and encouragement of his family, Don finally began learning to sail in the spring of 2021 and now enjoys sailing frequently with his new friends at Modern Sailing.
