It’s turned out to be a warm second half to winter and while it’s hard to say Spring is on the way it really is. The rain is going to ease up eventually and you’ll be ready to get that boat back in shape for another beautiful NW boating season.

As always, we can order anything we don’t have in stock and have it delivered usually within a couple of business days. We’ll help you research hard to find parts too. Come on by or give us a call.

It includes both classroom and on the water instruction in a ballasted, fixed keel sailboat (not a dinghy). This class is structured for adults not interested in being in the water while sailing. Sailing is done both in Eagle Harbor and Puget Sound, dependent on wind conditions. This is a great way to learn to have fun while gaining the skills needed to take the boat out on your own.
