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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    The Full Moon Sail with Skipper Bob Gutsgell was Ah-Mayzing!! The group dynamic was lovely and the views spectacular. I can't say enough good things about the experience. Thanks so much for the wonderful Club Sails, they are really great.

    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.
