Sausalito or Berkeley Site Orientation Sails

The Site Orientation Sail is an opportunity for members who were certified to charter at one location to get oriented with the unique aspects of sailing out of the other location.

In Sausalito, sailors will learn and practice crosswind docking in a single slip including crew using the lassoing technique with dock lines.

In Berkeley, you’ll learn how to do downwind dockings in a double slip as well as become familiar with the hazards and unique aspects of navigating in and out of the Berkeley Marina.

Upon successful completion of this clinic, members will be qualified to charter out of both locations in accordance with the Fleet Rating that they achieved at one location. The minimum prerequisite for this clinic is Silver Fleet rating or ASA 103 Certification.

Read the Berkeley Orientation Guide or the Sausalito Orientation Guide if you plan on sailing out of either site.

  • $100 for Fleet Rated Members

Duration: 1/2 day, 1pm-5pm
Max Capacity: 4 students

    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!

    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.

    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 office staff was very accommodating in meeting my availability.

    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.
