Join MSC for our sailing expedition to Drakes Bay! Plan to meet at the club at 7:00 AM Saturday to provision and load the boat. Cast-off will be at 8:00 AM. Sailing to Drakes Bay usually takes six to 8 hours depending on conditions. Meals are included in the trip cost.
One Day, 8am - 8pm
Rich in marine wildlife and rugged beauty, our Farallones sailing expedition is a must for sailors of all levels. This one-day "blast" out to the Farallon Islands is also a great opportunity to get some ocean sailing experience under the guidance of a skilled instructor.
Weekend Trip, 3 days and 2 nights
Experience the fun of an MSC led-flotilla as we head up the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta this fall. Join the flotilla as crew by reserving a cabin on MSC’s lead boat, Kanaloa, or charter one of MSC’s four participating bareboats reserved for Platinum Fleet certified members.
I try to get out on the water every week: out the Gate, around Angel, up Raccoon - I love it all. After 18 years as a member of OCSC in Berkeley, I learned to sail the bigger boats at Modern by taking ASA 103 and 104. My ASA 104 instructor Dave Russell was terrific. Also, Captain Bill Moreland has been very generous in giving informal advice whenever I’ve asked him. Thanks to Bill, I no longer have any anxiety about docking!
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 definitely recommend Modern Sailing to anyone who is interested in learning to sail the right way.
