SAILING!

Ever want to sail? Do you have experience? If you don't have experience, do you want to learn?

Here is your chance from skilled to the person that doesn't even know what a Jib is.

Arrive at the Little Ridge Boat Ramp, sail, swim, help step the mast, learn a little sailing and hopefully catch a cat's paw or 2. Set up takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, and I am glad to walk anyone through this. I will Captain and be the helmsman unless I feel someone has enough experience to take the helm, but there is plenty of work and fun to be had. This is very relaxed and I am very patient at showing anyone the lines, sheets, and Davy Jones Locker; if a keelhauling is deserved. ;)

To help step the mast it takes being able to lift 35 to 50 lbs above your head or rest the mast on your shoulder one time. It is fairly easy and I can do (and prefer to do) most of the heavy lifting. 

!!! This park is new to me, please have cash avalible for the parking if it is required !!!

The Trip Leader(s) for this event has (have) elected either to personally collect the funds that event participants are required to pay, or to require participants to pay funds directly to a third party. No funds will be paid to the Atlanta Outdoor Club for this event. Therefore, by registering for this event, you acknowledge and agree to the following: (1) the monies paid by registrants will not be monitored, managed, or otherwise accounted for by the Atlanta Outdoor Club; (2) that the Atlanta Outdoor Club bears no financial responsibility for this event; and (3) you waive any and all claims against the Atlanta Outdoor Club, and hold the Atlanta Outdoor Club harmless for the loss of any monies you paid for this event.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any paying registrant may request directly from the Trip Leader, prior to the event, a breakdown of funds collected, estimated expenses, and deposits made in anticipation of the event. Following the event, the Trip Leader must complete his or her financial accounting for the event, with supporting documentation, within 30 days of the completion of the event, and a paid registrant may request a breakdown of funds collected, money spent and supporting documentation after that time. If you are unable to obtain requested documentation, please contact the Director of Paid Events.

The 10 dollar per person will be paid in cash to the tripleader before the event. This cost helps to cover a very small portion of the fuel costs of trailering the boat and maintenance costs of maintaining a sailboat.  Yup, Luana is no cheap date! Please be understanding for this request, but contact the trip leader if you are unable to afford the 10 dollars.

This event may or may not continue depending on the severity of the weather. Lightning may delay or cancel the event and updates will be provided asap. By canceling one day on multi day listings, this may cause multiple days to be canceled. Please be flexible and the Tripleader will do his best to respect your time! PLEASE have your contact information current so last min contact can be made if issue arrise.

There MUST be a min of 2 people to hold the event and the Tripleader counts as one. The other attendee must be able to lift 50 lbs and must be willing to work the sails. The Tripleader will offer all instruction and is very patient and calm in instruction. This min attendance requirement will be maintained due to the required number of people to rig or de-rig the boat. The Tripleader must count on the other person 100%. Due to the nature of sailing no more than 4 total will be on the boat when sailing. Waitlisters will be added in order as space becomes avalible.
