WOMEN ON WATER (WOW), a Pentagon Sailing Club (PSC) group, provides opportunities for women to sail in a fun, supportive, and learning environment!
From April through October, WOW meets on select Thursdays (5:30 pm until dusk) and Saturdays or Sundays (starting at 9:00 am) at the Capital Cove Marina on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) in Washington, D.C., where PSC moors a fleet of Catalina Capri 22s. After each sail, WOW members gather at the marina's waterfront restaurant, The Slip Inn.
Who: All PSC women are welcome to join!
When: April through October 2025
Where: Capital Cove Marina, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB), 90 Giovannoli Way, Washington, D.C. 20032
Cost: $60 covers the cost of the 2025 sailing season
If you DO NOT have access to JBAB, after completing a PSC membership application, you may apply for DBIDS card. This takes time to process. Without a DBIDS card, you don't have access to the marina. Note: PSC can only sponsor DBIDS cards for active club members.
Happy Sailing!
Come join for a Wednesday Night Social Sail with PSC!!!
Here's your chance to take a little time after work (or maybe even leave the office early if you can) and join some of your fellow PSC members for an evening social sail on the Potomac.
Boats depart the docks by 5:30 PM at the latest (or earlier if a skipper has a boat full of people). All boats must be tied back up in their slips before sunset.
Come out and join us and practice your sailing. You might pick up a tip or be able to share your tips with each other in this relaxed atmosphere. Oh, did we mention that it's only $10 to participate (& free for Skippers)? How much better can it get?!
BUT WAIT, THERE's MORE! On the last Wednesday of each month, we will hold a Social Hour after we sail with FREE Club provided refreshments!
Register here: https://www.pentagonsailing.org/event-6065372
We hope to see you out on the water!
______________________________________________________________
NOTE TO ALL: Capacity is totally dependent on how many Skippers sign up. No skipper, no boat. If you are considering being a Skipper (see requirements below), but need some orientation and/or a bit more practice, let us know. We'll figure something out.
NOTICE: Due to very high demand, with significant waitlists for Club members, Guest registration is unavailable. If you wish to sail with family members, consider a Family Membership

2024 PSC Labor Day Raft-Up: Club-Chartered 47' Catamaran
REGISTRATION
Miscellaneous costs (fuel, pump-out, dock fees, meals) not included.
Boat: 47' Catamaran Fountaine Pajot Saona 47 Maestro - 3 + 1 cab. - Dark Star - 2019
Skipper: TBD
This is a multi-day social sail over the Labor Day weekend. We depart the marina on Saturday and meet other boats on the bay, raft-up, and spend the day on the water.
Theme: TBD
Location: TBD
This is a great multi-day experience, where you get to experience the liveaboard style, plus you get to raft-up with other boats. The sail is a great time to practice any skills you may need for a certification, or just to make sure you keep them sharp. If all you want is relax, there will be multiple fore-decks where you can do so.
Monday we return to our home ports.
We look forward to seeing you. Please pass the information about the Raft Up to anyone who wants to attend and let the skipper know if you have any questions.
Registration price only covers charter costs. Additional costs such as food, pump-out, fuel, and slip fees will be shared by the crew.
The charter boat is a catamaran with three 2-person cabins and three singles in salon (sleeping nine). You can check it out here.
The fee will not be refunded if cancellation occurs within 30 days of the start date of the sail, unless the participant finds a replacement. The club will assist with this, but will not be responsible for finding a replacement.

The Hydrilla Cup is a PSC social event hosted by the Racing Squadron. Join us for a day of races, fellowship, and a cookout!
The main event will be a series of two to three races on the Potomac River in which teams of PSC members compete against each other to claim victory on one of our Capri 22's. We'll follow the racing with a cookout at the marina.
This event is free, but registration is required since there's limited space on the boats. If you'd like to share a dish for the cookout, please send a note to racing@pentagonsailing.org. If you'd like to attend the cookout but not sail, there's unlimited space to attend.
Note: This event is held on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling; you must have an ID card (or a DIBDS card) that allows access to the base to participate.
