Polaris - Beneteau Oceanis 30.1

Polaris is a Beneteau Oceanis 30.1 in our Sausalito Silver Plus Fleet. With a striking, modern profile featuring a hard-chine hull and slender bow, Polaris is designed for agile handling and spirited performance on all points of sail. Her twin rudders provide exceptional control and a responsive helm feel, making her a delight to sail short-handed or with a full crew. She features a convenient in-mast furling mainsail and a dedicated helm pedestal. This setup allows you to easily set, reef, and put away the sail from the safety of the cockpit, while the pedestal offers an additional secure platform for adjustments near the mast—a significant advantage when managing the Bay's notoriously shifty breezes. A spacious cockpit accommodates up to 6 sailors comfortably on day sails.

Below deck, headroom is 6.5 feet in all areas where it is possible to stand. To port at the base of the companionway, an L-shaped galley offers storage, a 20 US gallon refrigerator, and a two-burner stove and oven. The large head is divided into a marine toilet on one side and a shower and washbasin on the other. Open entryways and lengthwise berths give Polaris's two double cabins a spacious feel. The cabins can comfortably sleep 4 overnight and the benches in the salon provide extra sleeping space for 2 more.

Recognized by Cruising World and Sail Magazine as Best Boat of the Year, the Oceanis 30.1 balances comfort, style, and performance. Charter Polaris for an unforgettable day or multi-day adventure. Discover firsthand why this boat is a game-changer for our Silver Fleet rated members cruising the San Francisco Bay!

    Here are some snaps of Our Saturday, August 20, 2022 Modern Sailing Expedition with Captain Robert Bivin, who was outstanding. Please convey photos and thanks to him. He is an outstanding individual, leader and sailing instructor. His knowledge and experience made us all feel safe and our Farallones Day Trip educational and just amazing.

    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.

    The meeting room was quite adequate and the location most convenient, but the course outline and instruction were outstanding. Modern Sailing is fortunate to have such a well organized instructor in Mr. Stan Lander who teaches very well from a rich professional background. Mr. Lander was generous with his time and patiently in helping students who needed more attention or time in understanding various aspects of the curriculum.

    It has been wonderful sailing with MSC over the years. Please extend my thanks to the owners, management, and staff for unrequited professionalism and high standards in a charter fleet. I have sailed with several in my years and none nearly hold a candle to the quality of business and staff at Modern Sailing.

    I've taken two classes at MSS&C and was very happy with the program. This is also a great club with lots of opportunities for camaraderie and practice on the water. The boats in the fleet are fantastic and kept in tip-top shape. I highly recommend for all sailors and would-be sailors!
