What we’re about
We are about passing on the passion of sailing.
This group is about getting you connected with other people on boats to enjoy the pleasures of working together using just Wind and Water to get where you want to go.
No matter what your experience level, whether you are stuck on land, and think you'd like to try sailing, or have a boat and need crew, we are dedicated to helping you realize your dreams.
The truth is that to go sailing, you have to connect to sailors. We provide you the opportunity to get connected to group members who sail. These sailors host events and use the RSVP system associated with the software platform we use to facilitate those events.
NOTE: we are a social network, not a sailing club, yacht club or school. We are not a charter operation or an organization that schedules or acts as an agent for charters. We are a network of skippers and sailors. Some of the skippers in our network host events that members can attend, and we use the MeetUp Platform to facilitate that. Each Member of the Network, Skipper and sailor is responsible for learning and adhering to applicable laws and regulations. When you joined MeetUp to join this network, you agreed to certain terms of conditions that extend to the organizers, co-organizers, assistant organizers, and event hosts that use this platform to post events, which are called 'meetups' by the company that provides the software platform we use.
