  • Cross Fleet Exploration - Try out the Sailing Fleet

    • 03 Aug 2024
    • 10:00 - 12:00
    • Meet under the white tent near the JSCA entrance
    Register

    One of the best things about Club Locarno is the wide variety of fleets we have! Take this opportunity to expand your horizons and come and see what the Sailing Fleet has to offer. Our fleet includes many kinds of monohulls, catamarans, skiffs, and foiling boats. If you are a Locarno member, but haven't tried the Sailing Fleet, then this Cross Fleet Exploration event is for you! Even if you don't plan on joining this fleet, this is a great opportunity to see the other parts of our club that your membership fees support!

    At this free event, you will get a hands-on feel of what the Sailing Fleet offers. No previous experience necessary. Possible (wind dependent) activities include:

    • Coffee/treats, welcome, and introductions
    • Look at the different kinds of boats we have
    • Get a basic introduction to points of wind and how it is possible to sail upwind

    • Get an introduction to what foiling is and how it works

    • Try out hoisting a sail and steering with a tiller in hand
    • Join a Sailing Fleet volunteer for a ride in the boat of your choice (we will rig as many bi-handed boats as we have skippers for). 

      We hope you will join us!

      Sailing Fleet volunteers: please also register here so we know how many volunteers we can expect to help with this event.

      What to Wear
      Usually wetsuits are required for sailing. However, for this event we will make wetsuits optional. Keep in mind that even if it is a hot day, it is easy to get cold if the wind is high. You can rent wetsuits from Windsure on the east side of the JSCA compound. If you decide to sail without a wetsuit, our volunteers will keep the sail short and close to shore.

      Wednesday evening Social Paddle. Watch the #kayak Slack channel for changes to the schedule or cancellation. 

      We'll meet at 5:30pm for a 6:00pm launch.  Note new time because of shortening evenings

      This is a member run, weekly kayak and a chance to meet other paddlers - perhaps plan future excursions.  We will try to have a group leader for each social event.  The socials will vary depending on the group, from just a nice easy paddle to slightly more strenuous.  The group will stay together for the social. 

      Launch from the beach at 6:00pm!  So, aim to meet at 5:30pm to get organized.  Return: at dusk (30min after sunset) at the latest. 

      Guests & new members:  NEW MEMBERS ARE WELCOME (provided you have kayaking experience)!  Check with the Kayak Director to see if someone might be able to sign you out as a guest and that you have suitable skills to join the social paddle. You may also bring a guest who has kayak paddling experience (remember you are responsible for guests & equipment you sign out).      

      Please register for the event, and cancel if you can't make it so others know if they will have company.  Please check if others are registered before turning up, unless you're happy to paddle alone.  

      Weather permitting - we'll probably cancel if its raining or winds higher than 20km/h. Please watch the #kayak channel on Club Locarno Slack for last minute changes. 

      If you'd like to sponsor a social kayak join the #kayak-social-paddle-leaders slack channel.
