If you want to be styling this season while cruising in your dinghy, you NEED to yourself one of these cool, dri-fit Brandermill Sailing Club polo shirts! They’ll not only keep you cooler on the water, but they’ll dry quickly so you’ll look sharp when you head to The Boathouse afterwards!  Just email officers@sailbrandermill.org to let us know how many and what size(s) you want before June 15.

Never sailed before? Wanna move up from crew to skipper?  Need a refresher after all those years? Then you should sign up now for sailing lessons with Brandermill Sailing Club! Our US Sailing certified instructors will get you tacking and jibing in no time! Hurry up, they are a right around the corner.  Don’t worry, it won’t cost you an arm and a leg either ($125 for the first person with STEEP discounts for additional members from the same family). Makes a great Father’s Day gift!

Please join us on Saturday, April 7th, for coffee, donuts, and hard work as we clean up the beach for another season of sailing! It all starts at 9 AM at the Sailing Center at Sunday Park, 4602 Millridge Parkway. Bring gloves, shovels, rakes, wheelbarrows, and a hearty sense of community service to help get the Sunday Park beach looking fine for our neighbors and friends, and to make our launch area ship shape for the coming season. It’ll be hard, dirty, fun work, and is a great way to meet the rest of the club at the start of the season. We try to wrap up by noon, and then head over to Sergio’s in Market Square for discussion of the coming season, tales of past season’s glory, pizza, and some amber beverages. We hope to see you there!

The Board and other members have worked hard to put together the 2018 Sailing Club Calendar!  You can find it here on the site, and/or you can add it to your own calendar using this link (Google account required).  This year’s calendar includes:

• 2 racing series with 8 total race days *
• 2 Regatta days *
• 4 Fun Sails *
• 8 full-moon pontoon cruises (great for spouses and families)
• 1 course of sailing lessons with 3 days of instruction
• 2 Community Service / Work days
• Over a dozen other social events
• Our annual 4th of July parade entry

*You don’t have to have a boat or know how to sail to join us on race days or fun sails, as we always have captains who need crew and are willing to take newbies out with them, conditions permitting.

We’re excited just thinking about it!  We hope you’ll consider joining us for a couple of these as a guest, or all of them as a member!

See you on the lake!

Once again, Brandermill Sailing Club will be offering a great deal sailing lessons over 3 days in June.  Our US Sailing Association certified instructors will conduct shore lessons on Weds, June 21 from 5:30-8 PM.  Then, they’ll take you out on the water (boats provided!) for more learning and practice on Sat June 24 and Sun June 25 (9 AM-3 PM each day).  Lessons are just $125 for the first person (which includes a full year membership in the Club), only $65 for the second person in the same family, and $35 for a 3rd or 4th family member.  Whether you want to learn by yourself or bring the whole family, it’s a fun way to get out on the water and experience the joys of sailing!  You don’t have to be a resident of Brandermill or own a boat to participate.  Space is limited, so sign up soon!  Click here for more details.
