Former Modern Sailing member and student Holly Williams has circumnavigated the earth in the Clipper Round the World Race with Team UNICEF!
For his sixth consecutive year, Modern Sailing CEO Leigh Hunt participated in the Three Bridge Fiasco, a short-handed race hosted annually by the Singlehanded Sailing Society.
Unlike a traditional mainsail that is hoisted and doused vertically with a halyard, an in-mast furling mainsail wraps around a tube inside a hollow mast. It is unfurled by an outhaul line and furled back in with a line labelled as the "inhaul."
With new boats, destinations, programs, and the successes of our students, racers and members in 2019, Modern Sailing School & Club has much to celebrate!

Ahoy Fellow Members, Sailors, and of course Scallywags,
Have you ever wanted to find a way to channel your passion for sailing into helping others?
Is your company or department looking for fun and unique team building ideas in the San Francisco Bay Area?
The vessel was clean and in fine condition - very nice boat for training, well-equipped.
I started sailing at Modern at the end of 2021 and threw myself into it, spending as much time out on the water as I could. I came to Modern with some flat water dinghy sailing experience and it was quite a transition learning to sail bigger boats in much tougher conditions. There was a lot to learn, but the Modern instructors, Club Skippers and fellow Modern sailors made learning fun and rewarding. My Modern instructors were clearly very experienced sailors and sailing with them was inspiring! I want to thank the maintenance crew and office staff for their dedication and hard work - you are the folks who make things work! There is a lot more to learn and I look forward to sailing with Modern for years to come.
Captain Jeff Cathers is really cool. I had such a great time on the Farallones Day Trip. It was actually my very best day of 2020. Thank you so much for coordinating the trip.
