Sea of Cortez 2019

November 24 to December 4, 2019

Join Modern Sailing on an unforgettable adventure in the mystical Sea of Cortez this November 24 through December 4.  We will sail our very own Coho II, a 44' Spencer 1330 from Baja, Mexico. Onboard meals, beverages, and snacks are included!

Snorkel with sea lions and colorful fish, explore deserted islands, and sail over 200 nautical miles between La Paz and Cabo San Lucas. Stops along the way will include Espiritu Santo, Isla Islotes, Ensenada de los Muertos, and Los Frailes.  This will give us a wide sampling of what this part of the Gulf of California and Baja Peninsula have to offer in sea life, natural terrain, and cultural attractions. Leave the winter storms behind and head south for the spectacular warm and clear waters of Mexico!

    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.

  • Steve Hood, Basic Coastal Cruising

    I would definitely recommend Modern Sailing to anyone who is interested in learning to sail the right way.

  • 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!

    Thumbs up to (Club Skipper) Geoff (Love) and his wife Laura. I went on my first Club Sail on Sunday, January 18, 2026. They were terrific!

  • Esther C

    I took ASA 101 with them recently. They have the best customer service I've ever seen! I mistyped my address when I signed up online so didn't receive the textbook. I called and the lady immediately sent me another copy! Everyone at the club is super friendly.
