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!

    The vessel was clean and in fine condition - very nice boat for training, well-equipped.

    Our team at Salesforce did the Corporate Regatta Team Buidling activity (August 2026). What a blast!! HIghly recommend for your next team activity. It's fun to be out on the water, but the skippers also did a great job of teaching us all the sailing basics. The race is set up well so that we all had a chance to try out different roles. We did it with 11 people across two boats but having more boats is also doable and would lead to even more competition.

    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.
