Giving Thanks to Workers on the COVID-19 Front Lines

Thank you, medical professionals, hospital staff and first responders. Thank you, grocery, automotive and hardware store employees. Thank you, food service, postal and delivery workers. Thank you to everyone considered “essential personnel” who courageously served our community during the stay-at-home order to combat the COVID-19 pandemic!

For Modern Sailing School & Club, words are not enough to thank our heroes serving on the COVID-19 front lines. Sailing clears the mind, refreshes the spirit, and invigorates the senses, and sharing these healthy benefits – at no cost to COVID-19 essential personnel – is the best way we know how to show our gratitude!

Beginning December 2021, MSC will host complimentary Thank You Sails for essential personnel. Skippered by MSC’s CEO Leigh Hunt, COO Bill Moreland, and our experienced instructors and Club Skippers, Thank You Sails will accommodate up to six passengers per sail aboard our comfortable and luxurious yachts.

Our Thank You Sails are open for enrollment starting in January.  If you are an essential personnel worker or a manager leading a team of essential personnel, please contact us and we’ll reach out to you to schedule a complimentary three-hour Thank You Sail for you and your team to enjoy together.

Stay healthy and safe out there – and know that you are appreciated!

  • 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!

    I love sailing in the San Francisco Bay and greatly appreciate everything that MSC has to offer, the classes, clinics, club sails, racing and charters. I enjoy our supportive sailing community and use every opportunity to spend time on the water. After obtaining the certifications from MSC I did my first charter in Croatia in 2022 with my family. It was amazing and we’re looking forward to returning soon!

    The class was terrific. I know you must get many compliments about your sailing instructors...But I must tell you that Robert is outstanding. Having taught SCUBA, I really appreciate the way he is so sensitive to all on board, dealing with each so well, knowing quickly their strengths and weaknesses making each feel special and cared for.
