A full day of training on Benjamin Walters. The goal is to check off as many certification requirements as possible in a single day. If time and sufficient certified crew, we will practice live MOB. If stormy weather, so much the better. Bring lunch and your foul weather gear.

Potluck, giving out certificates of graduation, taking the students out on the inflatables and kayaks, then sails on both Aleta and Benjamin so the students can show friends and family what they have learned. A remarkably moving experience...a Saturday you will remember.

Replacement for shortened sail 21 November.
Certifcation sail for crew and second captains to get their skills checked off. We need to refresh our qualified sailors for Aleta to ensure we can schedule her for sails with kids. This sail will include COB training and practice.
Berkeley Marina
Sail on Golden Bear with students from the South Bay connected with CP Mentorship and TeeterPal which are expanding horizons for mainly Chinese and Hispanic youth. This is a "try-it" sail to explore a future partnership.
San Francisco Marina
Another certification sail for Benjamin Walters, the goal being to move all up the certification ladder in one long and enjoyable training day. If the right students show up, we may do a live MOB drill as well. Bring your lunch and we go rain or shine...
