Whether you're planning an offshore race or just looking to build or refresh your sailing skills, our US Sailing Sanctioned Safety at Sea Seminars can be an important step. These courses include an online orientation and a full day of hands on and seminar presentations. Climb into a life raft, fire flares, throw lines, and more. Now offered several times per year. These satisfy US Sailing and World Sailing requirements and satisfy offshore race requirements.

Perhaps you were raised never to mention a lady's age. Our Jeanne Socrates revels in it. She has embarked, on October 3, to become the oldest female SOLO circumnavigator, and the first woman to solo circumnavigate from North America.  Leaving from Vancouver, B.C., this member of our San Francisco Station is now about 400 miles off Bahia San Ramon, Baja California.

With the recent change in award recognition, the PNW station awarded circumnavigation pennants to the follwing members and spouses: Paul Baker, Suzette Connolly, Mary Alice and Brian O'Neill, PL and Kurt Mondloch, Garth Wilcox, Sue Corenman,  Jim Corenman, and Neil and Nancy Sirman.
