This event (10AM - 3PM) signals the opening of the 2025 season - locally and regionally. This year it is open to members and their guests.
Opening Day is the perfect day to go out sailing in a club boat or with other members or to brush up on your sailing knowledge by taking a seminar (see below for preliminary list of seminars). There will be activities for kids too. Lunch will be provided, and although registration is not required, we would appreciate if you do register at the event website so that we can plan for how much food is needed.
