Sat March 26th at 9:00 am (an earlier start than the rest of the fleet to allow time for bridge and locks passage).

This is the Mountaineers kickoff event to begin the new sailing year. Five boats will sail to Port Madison and raft-up together for an on-the -water pot luck. We will return to the dock by 7:00pm. This is an introduction to sailing event. No sailing experience necessary.

Rhythm's moorage is in Portage Bay, so this trip will include a passing through several bridges and the Ballard Locks!

The Sailing Essentials

Don’t leave the dock without these items! They make sailing safer for you and your crewmates. As a carrier, use a soft duffel bag for easy stowing without metal buckles that can scratch woodwork.

  • Non-skid deck shoes (or sea boots) with non-marking soles.
  • Heavy-duty gloves (preferably leather) for line handling (fingertips cut off is OK).
  • Warm clothing head to foot (Note: The ambient temperature on the water is usually lower than on land).
  • Foul-weather gear
  • Sunglasses
  • Sunscreen
  • Knife on lanyard
  • Whistle on a lanyard
  • Food and drink
  • Headlamp or flashlight
