    Welcome to all PSC women! 

    There is a great new opportunity to get on the water  and sail in a fun, supportive, learning environment! We are very excited to offer this amazing new program to create a community of women supporting each other through sailing. 

    The Sailing Program:

    Starts: April 11 - September 19 (6 months of sailing!)

    Location: At JBAB (Capitol Cove Marina: 90 Giovannoli St SW, Washington D.C. 10032)

    Times: Monthly on Thursday evenings at 5:30 pm and Saturday mornings at 9 am.  Depending on demand we will rotate to ensure everyone get’s on time on the water.

    Cost: $60 to cover the cost of the season (12 sail dates with 5 boats)!

    IF you do not have access to JBAB, go to the PSC website and request  DBIDs. This takes some time to process and you can't get to the boats without it. Note: PSC can only sponsor DBIDS cards for active club members.

    Happy Sailing!

    Ahoy Sailors,

    2024 Greece Flotilla Update and discussion of when and where to organize the next flotilla.

    I know the Greece Flotilla trip is still 4 months away but its time to start planning the next trip.  If your interested come and hear about how this trip was organized and tell us where you would like to go next. BVI, Amalfi Coast, Croatia?

    Some of the Topics for discussion,

    - Timing Spring 2026, Fall 2025

    - Type of boats Catamarans or mono-hulls

    - Should training be provided on the trip ASA classes?

    - Pricing and duration

    - How to put crews together

    - These flotillas are not really PSC Events, anyone can skipper or join the boats.

    - Are you interested in helping organize the next flotilla.

    Come out Monday, May 20, 2024 and spend some time with other PSC members and potential members. 

    It's a great opportunity to connect with friends and meet new friends. We will also be starting a new monthly tradition...club birthdays! Come enjoy some delicious birthday cake and celebrate all your fellow members born in March. If you want to be celebrated on your special month please update your profile details on the website to include your month and year. 

    Monthly Membership social meetings are held the third Monday of every month (3rd Tuesday, when Monday is a holiday). We normally have dinner together, hear from a guest speaker, and then conduct a business meeting. All year long, it's a good time!

    Happy Hour and networking starts at 6:00 pm and meeting starts at 7:00 pm with a short ice-breaker.  We recommend that you come early to have some food and drink and hang around with other sailors.

    Do you or someone you know have a unique or interesting insight, skill, or experience related to some aspect of sailing you would be willing to present to our membership?

    Please contact our Membership Commodore for more information.

    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-5704225

    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


    NOTE: We are always looking for Skippers!

    To be a Skipper on a Social Sail, a member must be pre-approved in accordance with the PSC Training and Qualifications Policy. Generally that requires: completing ASA 101/103, three sails on the Potomac within the past two years subsequent to 101/103, a Boater Safety Card, and having sailed once on the Potomac each season prior to Skippering.

    If that's you, fill out this form

    Skipper:  Ross Rosiak email communicationscommodore@pentagonsailing.org 

    This is a multi-day social sail over the Memorial Day weekend. We depart the marina on Saturday and meet other boats on the bay, raft-up, and spend the day on the water. See flyer attached below.

    Theme: Salty Sailors

    Location: San Domingo Creek and Oxford, MD

    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.

    The "Labor Day Raft Up" is fast approaching and we are well on our way to planning the event. This year's theme is "Salty Sailors!" - Cheers to those Sailors who have been with PSC for many years and deserve an "Outta Boy". We are planning a fun filled set of events and hope that you are able to participate.

    • 25 May 2024 - Raft Up will be held in San Domingo Creek (Coord. f 38°46'8"N 76°13'42"W) . CAPT Ross Rossiak will be coordinating the information regarding the raft up itself. Vilma Baez will be the planner for the evening event. Once again, it is all about the "Salty Sailors" so wear anything you deem appropriate for the event. This is a hard one so put your mind at work!
    • 26 May 2024 - We will conduct our second event at Oxford, Maryland (coord. 38°41'32"N 76°10'15"W). As for the restaurant, Vilma is still working on the best possible alternative. Count of the event being held around 1500 either catered or at a nearby restaurant.

    Monday we return to our home ports.

    If you intend to take your boat to Oxford, we recommend the Safe Harbor Oxford Marina. You will need to make slip reservations via the DOCKWA app (or at https://dockwa.com safe-harbor-oxford) as soon as possible. The contact at the marina is Jeff Maki, 410-226-5450.

    As mentioned above, Ross will soon provide more details about the raft up. Please let him know about your boat, captain and crew.

    We look forward to seeing you. Please pass the information about the Raft Up to anyone who wants to attend and let me know if you have any questions.

    Regards,

    Vilma Baez baez.vilma@gmail.com 

    Coordinator

    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 club may switch to a 4-cabin catamaran if one becomes available, at which point you will have the option of changing your reservation.
