Prepare to Sail

The following information was excerpted from the HRCS website:

What should I bring to my sail?

1. Close-toed shoes with good traction. [With non-marking soles, that is, sneakers, deck shoes, etc.]

2. Comfortable sports clothing that can get wet.

3. Sun protection (Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen).

4. Water bottle.

5. Snack if you want.

6. Rain jacket, layers, hat, and gloves when appropriate.

What will happen when I arrive?

You will be greeted by one of our friendly staff members who will confirm your place on the sail.  You will then be asked to fill out a liability waiver if you have not already done so. Once the entire group has arrived, you will meet your instructor, get fitted for a lifejacket and proceed to the dock. The HRCS launch will then take you to your sailboat. Enjoy the sail!

Do I need to know how to swim?

No. HRCS provides USCG approved PFDs for every lesson participant.

Can I bring a phone or camera on the boat?

Yes. HRCS is not liable for any lost or damaged goods that you choose to bring aboard.

Can I bring food or drinks on the boat?

Yes, however HRCS does not allow alcohol aboard any of its vessels.
