Make the Most of Winter

Online Courses for On-Water Fun

Opportunities for On-Water training are still available but filling quickly. And our Online ROC(m) and Coastal Navigation are perfect ways to prepare for 2023 and your own boat ownership. They also make the perfect gift for the special boater in your life!

A gem in our region is the Bluewater Cruising Association a highly experienced group of offshore sailors dedicated to preparing for offshore cruising.  Their offering of winter courses provides rare local opportunities for hands-on training – we recommend paying special attention to their February, March, and April community calendar for classes on weather, radar, and tides & currents with local experts we trust via zoom.

Make the most of the winter - A great gift!!!

Featured Sailmaker – Carol Hasse  

Safety, Comfort, & Speed

Many a sailor has heard the line that sailing is the fine art of going no where fast. For racers and cruisers alike, the pursuit of speed is always in sight. But for serious cruisers and people seeking a fun, relaxing charter holiday, safety and comfort share equal importance.  

As we seek to inspire and prepare you – we wanted to introduce you to Carol Hasse, of Hasse & Company Port Townsend Sails, the founder and owner of one of the only woman-owned sail lofts in the world. Deborah Bach's excellent article, An Enduring Sailmaking Legacy in a New Era over on the 48 North website is well worth the read. Highly recommended and well written!
