Introduction

And now we sail...

How would you describe your sailing experience? At the end of your description include a title for yourself (look at other profiles, or the about page for ideas)

After spending some portion of most of my weekends over the past year at gotwaw meetups and other sailing events, I've come to think of myself as a "veteran newbie." I've even been happily holding up the rail (and once in a while even a line or a winch handle!) in enough races now, that I actually know a lot of the lingo, too. I'm super eager to keep sailing and keep learning, so if you are willing to bark cheap orders at me... I will always do my best to follow them.

What type boats have you sailed on - or dream of sailing on? What sort of sailing do you do? Cruising, racing, beercans, YRA . . . Transpac??

Mostly Willin' (30' Catalina), Ohana (45' Beneteau), and Feral (Calkins 40) so far...

If you are a private boat owner -- please describe your vessel in as much detail as you can.

N/A

Do you have any US sailing or ASA certificates? Do you bareboat charter?

Nah

Are you disabled or have limited mobility? You'll be welcomed, but it's very important for skippers to know ahead of time to keep everyone safe while sailing (you included).

No.

  • ...perfect, Welcome aboard, Shannon! Let's go sailing! Please check out the trips we're working on for Catalina right now! When more boats come our way, we'll be able to get many more people out on the water and even across the channel to Catalina. This should be super fun and it's already very exciting! Maybe I can pick your brain a little about racing sometime after we meet? Thanks for signing up, Cheers! :)

  • Hello SHannon,

    This month our Free BBQ is on April 28th from 4pm - 7pm. Sorry for the late change of dates. We noticed the incorrect date today when we received the invite reminder from MeetUp.

    We're sorry if this is an inconvenience and we hope to see you NEXT weekend for the BBQ.

    Regards, Tim
