Members Only Sails  

Members Only Sails are an exciting opportunity for members only to come down to the dock, practice their sailing skills and socialize with other members.

Life Jacket Policy: Members will be required to bring your own life jacket for the balance of the 2022 sailing season. 

Online Registration Required: Registration required to manage attendee capacity and boat allocation. 

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 on the day of the event. Please use the link in the red box below to register.

Where: Members Only Sails are hosted at our Diamond Teague Park Piers location. Address is 99 Potomac Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20003. Marina Directions can be found by clicking here. Scroll down for link to map for Diamond Teague Park Piers. Look for the large banners on the fencing at the dock entrance.

  

When: Monday Evenings: 5:30 pm until sunset. Arrive between 5:30 PM and 6:00 PM for boat assignments. Dock Managers will assign members to boats with experienced DC Sail skippers and assist with crew assignments.

Cost: No cost for current (paid) DC Sail members at the Admiral, Basic, Instructor, Lifetime and Super levels. 

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, 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.
