All work and no play...

We like to mix a few social activities into our sailing. Following are a few of the events that we have planned so far this year.

Check our calendar and WindWords newsletter
for the latest dates and events.

Sailing Events

Women Only Sails
This free day of sailing with other women is a great opportunity for you to meet other female sailors and crew. Typically, we meet at the boat dock at 10 am, sail somewhere on the Bay for lunch, and then sail home, returning between 4:00 and 5:00 pm. These sails are a ton'o fun and inspiring.

These sails are usually the fourth Tuesday of April, June, August, and October. Call our office to sign up for the next trip.

Angel Island BBQs
Usually at the beginning of the San Francisco sailing season, Tradewinds hosts a mid-day BBQ at Angel Island. Members reserve boats and rendezvous at Ayala Cove for lunch.

Sail with Butch and Lynn
Enjoy a free day of sailing on the third Saturday of the month with our Captain Butch Florey and first-mate Lynn. We leave the docks at 10:00 a.m. and return about 4:00 p.m. This is a fun event for singles and couples. Call the office for a reservation.

Social Get-togethers

Club BBQs and Pancake Breakfasts
Once or twice a year, Tradewinds hosts mid-day BBQs and pancake breakfasts at the local Miller/Knox Park in Point Richmond.

Poker Runs
Don't miss this very fun event. Members may bring any friends whom you would like to introduce to the Tradewinds family. Sailing classes are also welcome to participate. Only Tradewinds members may skipper a boat. At 4:00 p.m. in the evening, we will have a Bar-B-Q set up behind the office, where we will flip over the community card and hand out prizes.

How does a Poker Run work? It's a 5 card draw, where the best hand wins. First you come in
to the office to sign in and find out where the locations of the other cards are. At the office, you draw your first card. You then go sailing to the other three locations and draw one card at each location. Finally, you come back to the office for the BBQ and we will turn over the final shared card, you should end up with five cards. The highest hand wins.

We have prizes for the top three hands. Ties will be decided by cut of the deck, highest card wins. This should be a event for everyone. What is the cost? Just your time.

Holiday Party
What better excuse to get together than the holiday? Our annual holiday party is everyone's favorite.
