Guest Sail Sunday
Our club invites new or prospective sailors to join us on the water in our boats. It's a great way to experience sailing and try various boats in our fleet.
Roper Lake is a small lane near Safford. It's higher elevation should give us good weather in May. Kayaking, hiking, bird watching are very good here. Try to reserve in the Hacienda Loop area.
We are planning 1 hike and dinner out in Safford on Wednesday evening.

International Grandparents' Day Cruise and Raft Up
What a fine way to show your grandchildren how awesome their grandparents are by taking them sailing and sharing their adventures with them and getting the little ones into sailing. Some might not even know you are adventurers. Now is the time to show them! Look at this guy! White pants on a sailboat, almost crushing his sunglasses, showing his grandkids how it's done!
Pirate Race and Raft Up...Yarrrr
Join us for a epic battle as Pirates make off with the Crown's treasure and the Royal Navy pursues. Battle is performed with water guns. If a boat's entire crew is soaked they are then boarded and take the treasure. Bring your best rum drinks and Caribbean food to the raft up at Honeymoon Cove after the race.
