Coho II Coastal Delivery Experience

August 17 - 23, 2025 and October 6 - 9, 2025

Marina del Rey to Sausalito

We’re looking for motivated and skilled crew members to join us on a coastal upwind delivery of our Spencer 1330 Coho II from Marina del Rey, CA, to Sausalito, CA, scheduled from August 17th through the 23rd, and October 6th - 9th. These passages will require teamwork, endurance, and a basic understanding of coastal navigation.

The route covers some of California’s most scenic and challenging waters, including the potential for strong headwinds and complex coastal currents. We will be motor-sailing through both day and night, requiring all crew members to participate in rotating watches.

Experience with night sailing, sail trimming, and handling a variety of weather conditions will be highly beneficial. The weather conditions this time of year are generally favorable, however if serious adverse conditions are present, the delivery could be delayed.

You will be responsible for your own transportation to Marina del Rey. As a crew member, you’ll be expected to contribute to all aspects of the voyage, including helming, sail changes, navigation, and meal preparation. A positive attitude, good communication skills, and the ability to work well under pressure are essential. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in coastal delivery while enjoying the camaraderie of a dedicated crew.

If you're ready for a rewarding challenge and have a passion for sailing, we'd love to have you on board for this adventure. Visit the article, Down and Up the Coast - Southbound ASA 108 and Northbound Delivery Recap from 2024 by Mary Elkins. 

Price for members and non-members: $995 Members | $1,195 NonMembers

    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 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.

    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 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!
