    This summer we are looking for volunteers to help us run each Friday evening in August! From set-up, check-in, clean-up, cooking hot dogs and beverage serving/pouring, we could use an extra hand or 2. Let us know if you are interested in helping us out with one or some of these events below. 

    PARTICIPANT REQUIREMENTS

    Each participant will need to complete a Member Program Waiver and Upload their COVID vaccination record on the Waiver. Note: The waiver is only emailed to the person who registers. Please forward the email to your guests for completion.

    SKIPPERS NEEDED
    As much as we would like to be able to invite everyone to be crew, we cannot run the event without members volunteering to skipper.

    Registration is mandatory for guests, members, and students.

    GUEST LIMITS

    • Crew are limited to 1 Guests
    • Skippers are limited to 2 Guests, if you would like to bring more, please reserve your own SSC boat and include in the Title "Sailfest". If you have room for extra crew you want us to throw your way, include in the Title, "Sailfest - 2 Crew Spots Available"
    • Sailfest is a great way to practice your skippering skills and SSC staff will be present before and after the race to help with docking.
