Education
You need to know what's going on for your safety as well as the safety of those around you. Sailing is considered a risky activity. The level of risk is minimized through the education and safety practices of the participants. Bay Sailors, Inc. strongly encourages its members to participate in education programs both within and outside the club.
Bay Sailors helps its member through:
- providing practice on-the-water
- providing educational sessions
- encouraging outside education
Bay Sailors provides practice on the water during day sails and weekend sails. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and to not be afraid to take the helm. The assigned crew for each sail includes at least one "experienced" member to act as first mate to the skipper, and thus experienced members may receive preference in assignments.
Bay Sailors presents educational programs at the monthly membership meeting. Periodically, training weekends or special sessions are scheduled.
Social
Social Events occur several times a year. For many parties members can sign up to sail in or drive in. Recent social events include a Holiday Party, a Pirate Party and an End of Year Party.
