Sail on Golden Bear with students from Wallenberg High School. They were rained out twice last year so we are hoping for a fantastic sail this year.

Sail on Golden Bear with students from James Denman Middle School.
Our toughest certification skill...live night overboard practice. Do not sign up if you have not already done a day overboard practice. And only sign up if you intend to take kids out sailing in the dark...such as probation sails. Bring a light for your life vest and your dinner. Intense...and a lot of fun. People fall overboard at night, you know...this is a skill all should have.
