The San Francisco Bay is a mecca for racing. With the strong and steady winds, competitors are tested in skill and strategy. Join an elite group of sailors and add dimension to your sailing by participating in the Modern Sailing Race Program.
You don't have to be an expert sailor to race. The Recreational Race Clinic is a great introduction to racing on SF Bay. You will learn the roles on board and be able to practice them in a fun and lightly competitive environment - the Recreation Race Team.
For a more competitive experience, join the Performance Team.
Both teams run during the Spring, Summer and Winter Season. Enroll in the Recreational Race Clinic now and be ready to join a team for the upcoming season.
