Cruising Skipper Assignments for Membership Sails

(1) If you cannot skipper for an event that you are assigned to, please try to first find a replacement yourself. Anyone who is checked-out on the boat that you are assigned to is eligible. If you need a list of eligible skippers or if you cannot find a replacement, please notify cruising@downtownsailing.org.

(2) You have the obligation to select your own First Mate, but the dockmaster for each event (if there is one) will have the responsibility for assigning all other crew.

(3) You will receive Cruising Credits for the time spent skippering these events. Please send an e-mail to cruising@downtownsailing.org to confirm your hours after the event is over.

(4) We have only guessed at which boats and how many boats to make available for each event. There could easily be too many boats awaiting crew or too many crew awaiting boats. Please use this schedule as a guide, but be flexible. Feel free to join another skipper if too few crew show up, or to take an unassigned boat out if too many crew are standing on the docks.

(5) Please keep in mind that these events are all designed in part to be an introduction to cruising for non-cruisers and educational in nature. You are all ambassadors for the DSC Cruising Program.

(6) This schedule is subject to change without notice. A cash charter may make a boat unavailable, for example.

(7) Please treat these cruises as any other - complete a pre-sail inspection, do a crew briefing, keep up the ship's log, etc.

If you have any questions about the Schedule shown above, please contact cruising@downtownsailing.org
