Giving Thanks to Workers on the COVID-19 Front Lines | Modern Sailing

Giving Thanks to Workers on the COVID-19 Front Lines

Thank you, medical professionals, hospital staff and first responders. Thank you, grocery, automotive and hardware store employees. Thank you, food service, postal and delivery workers. Thank you to everyone considered “essential personnel” who courageously served our community during the stay-at-home order to combat the COVID-19 pandemic!

For Modern Sailing School & Club, words are not enough to thank our heroes serving on the COVID-19 front lines. Sailing clears the mind, refreshes the spirit, and invigorates the senses, and sharing these healthy benefits – at no cost to COVID-19 essential personnel – is the best way we know how to show our gratitude!

Beginning December 2021, MSC will host complimentary Thank You Sails for essential personnel. Skippered by MSC’s CEO Leigh Hunt, COO Bill Moreland, and our experienced instructors and Club Skippers, Thank You Sails will accommodate up to six passengers per sail aboard our comfortable and luxurious yachts.

Our Thank You Sails are open for enrollment starting in January.  If you are an essential personnel worker or a manager leading a team of essential personnel, please contact us and we’ll reach out to you to schedule a complimentary three-hour Thank You Sail for you and your team to enjoy together.

Stay healthy and safe out there – and know that you are appreciated!

    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.

    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.

    I would like to compliment Stan Lander for his coaching, counseling and teaching Heavy Weather Offshore Sailing. Stan was very accommodating to all of the student's interests and shared his many years of insight on handling the boat in heavy seas. I would certainly recommend Stan and this course to sheltered waters sailors. My confidence in handling a boat of this size was certainly enhanced by the experience.
