Ski Club of Washington DC Meetup

PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. MAKE SURE YOU SPEAK WITH A TRIP LEADER. Visit www.scwdc.org, go to Sailing, Potomac Sails, and select the date you wish to register. You will also see the Trip Leader's name and contact number. Cost: $18 non-members $13 SCWDC members We sail on the Potomac every Tuesday evening from 6 – 8 pm (earlier beginning in late August) from Belle Haven Marina (www.saildc.com). Belle Haven is located on the George Washington Parkway just south of the Wilson Bridge. [Note: This is NOT the marina next to National Airport.] Turn off the Parkway at the Belle Haven Marina sign and follow the road until you see the boats and water, then park. No experience is necessary. We sail very stable, 19’ Flying Scots, each of which has an experienced skipper and often experienced crew. You can go along for the ride or start or enhance your sailing instruction by participating in boat handling. Our skippers are also excellent teachers and will provide guidance to all interested in learning. Dress is casual and based on the temperature. Layering is suggested since it’s often cooler on the water than on land. Occasionally you may get splashed, and the water in the spring can be cool. There is a restroom if you need to change clothes after work. Sun block, water, hats, and croakies to keep your glasses on your head are also recommended. Reservations are strongly encouraged – and the only way to guarantee a place on a boat.
