With a warm, sunny afternoon and light to moderate offshore winds, 70 participants across 11 boats enjoyed a beautiful two-hour sail. One participant shared, “It was the perfect introduction—relaxed, welcoming and such a stunning day on the water.”

I have met the most amazing people through sailing, including my husband! The team work and camaraderie is really rewarding and so many people give so much time, energy and expertise to the sport, volunteering to provide opportunities at all levels. It's a great example of the good people can do when they come together with a common interest.

I love offshore racing and I love windward leeward racing. Working as a team with one goal, the focus on getting there as fast and safe as we can.

I met a sailor who asked me to accompany him in a few sailing series. Later I crewed on a boat for the Wednesday afternoon series. The sailor became my partner and then husband and we bought a boat which we successfully campaigned in a number of racing series. I then sailed our boat in the Women's twilight with the best crew anyone could ask for.

By far the best part of sailing is the people you meet. I have friends all over the country from the sport.  We can see people once a year and mix with them like we saw them yesterday.

Please become a volunteer if you have the time. It is very rewarding while you are learning so much about Race Management. There are different tasks to learn which are very important especially when starting and finishing races and then keeping an eye on the fleets during the race/races.  Such a friendly atmosphere on the Committee Boat and I find it very rewarding

I love the independence I have as a sailor. I enjoy sailing interdependently and as part of a team. I have visited places I might not have gone to if it hadn't been for sailing. I'd love to sail every day if I could as it makes me feel calm and happy.

Absolutely, try it!  Do a sailing course!  Visit different clubs, become involved.  If you decide sailing is not for you, don’t shy away from joining a club; think about being involved in other ways.

The sailing community is full of interesting, fun and adventurous people and sailing is one of very few sports that you can actively participate in for your entire life. I would recommend anyone interested to get involved with a discover sailing program at their local club.

I love being on the water - the conditions are always changing so no two races are ever the same. The people I have met through the sport have become life long friends.

I love the camaraderie, the friendships, the social aspect of working together as a team to get the boat moving. And every sail is different- no two sails are the same.
