  • Women’s PSC Sailing Group

    • 15 Jun 2023
    • 05 Oct 2023
    • 10 sessions
    • Capital Cove Marina, JBAB
    Register

    Welcome to all PSC women! 

    This is a great new opportunity to get on the water  and sail in a fun, supportive, learning environment!

    The Sailing Program:
    Starts: May 25 - October 5 (5 months of sailing!)

    Location: At JBAB (Capitol Cove Marina: 90 Giovannoli St SW, Washington D.C. 10032)

    Times: Monthly on Thursday evenings at 1730 and Saturday mornings at 0900.  Depending on demand we will rotate to ensure everyone gets time on the water.

    Cost: $40 to cover the cost of the season (10 sail dates with 3 boats).

    IF you do not have access to JBAB, go to the PSC website and request  DBIDs. This takes some time to process and you can't get to the boats without it. Note: PSC can only sponsor DBIDS cards for active club members.

    We are very excited to offer this amazing new program to create a community of women supporting each other through sailing!

    Happy Sailing!

    • 27 Sep 2023
    • 4:30 PM - 8:00 PM
    • JBAB - Capital Cove Marina
    Register

    Come join for a Wednesday Night Social Sail with PSC!!!

    Here's your chance to take a little time after work (or maybe even leave the office early if you can) and join some of your fellow PSC members for an evening social sail on the Potomac.

    Boats start departing the docks at 4:30 PM and every half hour after (or whenever a skipper has a boat full of people). All boats must be tied back up in their slips before sunset.

    Come out and join us and practice your sailing. You might pick up a tip or be able to share your tips with each other in this relaxed atmosphere. Oh, did we mention that it's only $10 to participate (& free for Skippers)? How much better can it get?!

    BUT WAIT, THERE's MORE! On the last Wednesday of each month, we will hold a Social Hour after we sail with FREE Club provided refreshments!

    We hope to see you out on the water!

    ______________________________________________________________

    NOTE TO ALL: Capacity is totally dependent on how many Skippers sign up. No skipper, no boat. If you are considering being a Skipper (see requirements below), but need some orientation and/or a bit more practice, let us know. We'll figure something out.

    NOTICE: Due to very high demand, with significant waitlists for Club members, Guest registration is unavailable. If you wish to sail with family members, consider a Family Membership


    NOTE: We are always looking for Skippers!

    To be a Skipper on a Social Sail, a member must be pre-approved in accordance with the PSC Training and Qualifications Policy. Generally that requires: completing ASA 101/103, three sails on the Potomac within the past two years subsequent to 101/103, a Boater Safety Card, and having sailed once on the Potomac each season prior to Skippering.

    If that's you, fill out this form
