2022 Social Sails Programming
Social Sails are open to active (paid) DC Sail Members at the Admiral, Basic, Lifetime, Super levels, and Volunteer Instructor Members only. We are unable to accommodate non-Member guests during Members Only Sails and Social Sails.
Online registration is required for DC Sail Members who plan to attend Members Only and Social Sails, in order to maintain an appropriate level of attendees for boat allocation and manage COVID-19 Contact Tracing, should it be necessary. Registration will open on the day of the event at 12:00 Noon. Please only register if you are 100% committed that you’ll attend as you’ll be taking the space from another Member once we reach capacity. Registration will close at 4:00 PM the day of the event.
All sailors will be required to have their own personal life jackets.
We strongly recommend face coverings/masks while on the docks and while sailing.
When registering, please select either the Flying Scot or Flying Junior registration type. Note that FJ registrations require previous FJ sailing experience.
If you are an FJ Sailor, please consider registering for the FJ spot so that more Members can attend via Flying Scot boat allocation. Dock Manager will assist in teaming you up with another FJ Sailor.
Weather & Cancellation:Please monitor the weather prior to coming to the docks. For safety, we will close dock operations in the event of thunderstorms in the area within 15 miles and/or when there is an extended forecast for the threat of heavy weather, small craft advisory, poor water quality situations with recent flooding, high winds or no wind situations, and in extreme heat.
If the weather forecast is not reflecting clear and safe sailing conditions, it is likely the event will be cancelled.
While we typically send a notice of cancellation to confirmed registrants as well as post and update to our home page, Facebook, and Twitter accounts about an hour prior to the 5:30 PM start time, there are occasions where the weather causes a last-minute cancellation of the event. Dock Manager may also cancel the event if the weather becomes dangerous once the boats have launched.
Please arrive between 5:30 PM and 6:00 PM to be allocated to boats.
Thank you!
