Celebrate Special Occasions on the Water - Experience the Fun We Had at CYC!

Recently, our members enjoyed sailing to the Corinthian Yacht Club, taking advantage of our new  partership with CYC. On March 1 two of our beautiful boats, Grey Goose (Beneteau 37') and Survivor (Beneteau 38'), made the scenic journey across the bay. Skippers Leigh Hunt and Keith Milne docked gracefully at CYC's historic guest dock. With a new CYC guest pass in hand and the MSC burgee flying from the halyard, they were welcomed warmly by the members of CYC.

The photos captured the smiles and camaraderie as members enjoyed the stunning views and the welcoming atmosphere of the Corinthian Yacht Club. It was a fantastic example of the wonderful experiences our members can enjoy, and it serves as perfect inspiration for the upcoming special moments to celebrate.

This spring is brimming with opportunities to create similar unforgettable moments for the special people you cherish. We encourage you to look beyond the traditional and ignite some creative ideas for Mother's Day, graduation, birthdays, and upcoming anniversaries. Modern Sailing offers a unique and unforgettable way to celebrate the special moments in life – with the gift of a breathtaking sailing experience on the stunning San Francisco Bay!

An Unforgettable Dining Excursion

Our new CYC guest pass gives members access to dock at the picturesque Corinthian Yacht Club overlooking the entrance to Racoon Strait. When you reserve the day pass you can enjoy a delicious meal on their outdoor patio deck, overlooking the panoramic views, or within the elegant Clubhouse. Relive the magic our members recently experienced and create your own special memories. Modern Sailing members Jett Angeles and Andrey Pogodin recently sailed Sausalito's newly acquired J/88 Fly using the CYC guest pass.

"I thought our experience on Fly, with our crew of four sailors, was fantastic. The morning was very windy, and Andrey did a fine job helming us in and out of the CYC marina despite the elevated winds. The CYC staff were very courteous and accommodating. The food was affordable and not as expensive as one might expect," reflects Jett.

 

Our CYC Guest passes are limited at each of our MSC locations, so here are some more ideas for showcasing the Bay:

  1. Adventure and Beauty on Angel Island: While our CYC trip showcased the charm of Tiburon, Angel Island offers a different kind of adventure. Treat the family to a daysail and hike on Angel Island, explore their museum and picnic overlooking the Bay. Read more.
  2. Extend the Magic with an Overnight Escape: Perhaps after a delightful sail inspired by our recent cruise-in, you could extend your trip with an overnight in Clipper Cove. Read more.
  3. Dock & Dine Delight: Graduation marks a significant milestone, and what better way to celebrate their achievement than with a unique experience on the water? Gather friends and family and enjoy a day sail followed by dining at the city front or Jack London Square from MSC Berkeley. Read more.
  4. Share the Joy with a Club Sail: Our Club Sails providing a fun way to enjoy the bay and meet other Modern Sailing members and sailing enthusiasts. No experience required.
  5. Learn to Sail - A Gift of Skill & Adventure: Gift a one-day Introduction Sail, or if they already have experience sailing, an ASA 101 Basic Keelboat Sailing Course will empower them to be a certified crew member. Members get a referral bonus, so make sure when your burgeoning sailor joins, they let us know you referred them. Make sure to view our current Wind & Women ASA course schedule this summer and our Women's Introduction Level 1 Race Team starting May 2 on the new J/105 Chinook.

This spring, let the beauty and freedom of the San Francisco Bay be the backdrop for your most cherished celebrations. Inspired by the fun of our recent Club Sail, Modern Sailing offers the perfect platform to create unique and unforgettable moments for Mother's Day, Graduation, and all the special occasions that bring joy to your life. Whether you choose to visit the Corinthian Yacht Club, explore Angel Island, or simply enjoy a relaxing sail on the bay, we have the perfect option to celebrate.

    The office staff was very accommodating in meeting my availability.

    Every aspect of Modern Sailing - training, syllabus, course materials, quality of the boats, quality of the instructors, and the very friendly and helpful staff - exceeded my expectations. Modern Sailing has a first class sailing program in an environment with challenging winds and currents. I look forward to coming back to charter a boat and certainly plan to continue my sailing training.

    The Full Moon Sail with Skipper Bob Gutsgell was Ah-Mayzing!! The group dynamic was lovely and the views spectacular. I can't say enough good things about the experience. Thanks so much for the wonderful Club Sails, they are really great.

    Here are some snaps of Our Saturday, August 20, 2022 Modern Sailing Expedition with Captain Robert Bivin, who was outstanding. Please convey photos and thanks to him. He is an outstanding individual, leader and sailing instructor. His knowledge and experience made us all feel safe and our Farallones Day Trip educational and just amazing.

    We just took our ASA 106 at a school in Rhode Island as we prepare for 6 months of cruising in the Caribbean. The class was great, but more than anything it made us really appreciate the quality of teaching and rigor at Modern Sailing. Even though we were the newest to sailing, the group seemed to think that we had the best fundamentals. We felt very well prepared and we see why Modern Sailing has the reputation it does.
