Social Sail is coming up on Saturday, March 29th!
Join fellow MSA members for a relaxed four-hour group cruise around Hat Island or wherever the wind takes us. This is a casual, non-competitive sail focused on good company, shared learning, and time on the water together.
Meet at the dock at 11:00 AM and set sail at noon.
No boat? No problem! We'll help match you with a spot aboard a fellow member's vessel.
This sail is also a wonderful way to be part of this month's celebrations, and if you've been curious about the Sail Together Series, the Women's Social Sail is the perfect opportunity to jump in, meet the community, and experience it firsthand.
Keep an eye out for a poll coming your way soon. We would love to hear your feedback as we continue to shape the Sail Together Series for everyone.
We hope to see you out there!
Fun is just a cruise away!

This Year's Book
Fun times with friends, games, and good food, Kingston adds to that by walkable shopping district and parks.
Each cruise has an entertaining or adventurous theme, fun activities and potluck. Time at the dock gives people the opportunity to share boating experiences, boat handling tips, maintenance knowledge and make new friends. We look forward to you joining us on Milltown cruises. We welcome sailors, power boaters, paddlers, and even those who prefer to come by car. Bring the whole family, children and pets are welcome. Don't be discouraged by the waitlist. We will make our absolute best effort to make sure everyone who signs up to get you a slip. In the event we are unable to get you a slip there is a good anchorage outside the marina.

But the real highlight is always the annual visit to the club by Captain Greybeard, and his boat renaming ceremonies!
