    • 2024 PSC Memorial Day Raft-Up: Club-Chartered Boat (3-Day Bay Sail) – $840.00 (shared cabin), OR $780 (salon)

    Miscellaneous costs (fuel, pump-out, dock fees, meals) not included.

    • with 1 FVSM – $815 (shared cabin), OR $755 (salon)

    Boat: 47' Catamaran Fountaine Pajot Saona 47 Maestro - 3 + 1 cab. - Dark Star - 2019

    Skipper:  Ross Rosiak

    This is a multi-day social sail over the Memorial Day weekend. We depart the marina on Saturday and meet other boats on the bay, raft-up, and spend the day on the water. See flyer attached below.

    Theme: Salty Sailors

    Location: San Domingo Creek and Oxford, MD

    The first night we anchor, and then reconnect with the other boats. On the second night (Sunday), we dock in a marina (location TBD) and have dinner at local restaurant (TBA), get take out, or prepare meals on the boats (at each crew's preference).

    Monday we return to our home ports.

    This is a great multi-day experience, where you get to experience the liveaboard style, plus you get to raft-up with other boats. The sail is a great time to practice any skills you may need for a certification, or just to make sure you keep them sharp. If all you want is relax, there will be multiple fore-decks where you can do so.

    Registration price only covers charter costs. Additional costs such as food, pump-out, fuel, and slip fees will be shared by the crew.

    The charter boat is a catamaran with three 2-person cabins and three singles in salon (sleeping nine). You can check it out here.

    The club may switch to a 4-cabin catamaran if one becomes available, at which point you will have the option of changing your reservation.
