PLEASE READ

The 2022 SCWDC Sailing Program gets underway on Tuesday, May 17, from 6 PM to 8 PM, out of Belle Haven Marina in Alexandria. Our sailing events are skippered by club-certified captains.  Costs per person are variable depending on how many people participate, however, the cost will not exceed $25 for two hours of sailing.  Afterwards, we meet at a local restaurant  to regale ourselves of the adventure. 

We sail on the Potomac for 2 hours on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings.  Casual sailing, no experience needed.  We meet at Belle Haven Marina, and sail with experienced skippers on 19' Flying Scot sailboats, very stable and easy to sail.  These are excellent opportunities to learn the fundamentals of sailing while having fun.  After sailing, hungry sailors gather at a local restaurant to swap stories, and share good times (costs not included).  

The Sailing Program has a long history of teaching new sailors how to sail and to experience the thrill and excitement of operating sailboats, from 19-foot Flying Scots to 40-foot plus yachts. We focus on crew safety while developing our sailing skills, as well as having fun on the water and meeting new people.   

The sailing club just returned from a very successful week of sailing four yachts in the British Virgin Islands.  Go to the SCWDC Facebook page to see the pictures.  Plans are underway for next year's adventure.  

Reservations are strongly encouraged and the ONLY way to ensure your space. We reserve boats and confirm skippers based on the number of people who have signed up in advance.   Payment MUST be made onsite, in cash or check payable to Belle Haven Marina.
