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

    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.

    Captain Jeff Cathers is really cool. I had such a great time on the Farallones Day Trip. It was actually my very best day of 2020. Thank you so much for coordinating the trip.

  • John Kipping

    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.
