We want our members to guide the future of the MSC Membership Program. The following is a list of events that we think our members may be interested in, but if you have other ideas for fun member events please let us know. 

For a complete list of events, visit our website at www.sailmpls.org/events.

RACES

Members are encouraged to participate and learn how to race! Races are held on Wednesday evenings at 5:00 pm.    

CLINICS

If there is interest among our members, MSC will host half or full-day clinics to learn and practice specific skills. If you haven’t sailed for a few years and want a refresher course on upwind race tactics, or how to set a spinnaker in the 420, for example, these clinics will offer you that chance. Please notify us of topics that interest you and if there are enough people who are also interested we will arrange a half-day clinic. Members will be charged a nominal fee to cover the cost of instructors for the clinic. If you are a member and want to volunteer to lead a clinic we would love that!

MEMBERSHIP MEET-UPS

MSC will host a few membership meet-ups throughout the year. In the summer, MSC encourages members to use the SLACK channel to coordinate sailing times with other members. MSC will also host a summer celebration in July featuring open sailing, games, and a lakeside BBQ. During the offseason, MSC will host a winter gathering at a local event space. This event will focus on celebrating the previous year, handing out race awards, and looking ahead to the next season.

These events will be announced via email and social media.

MAINTENANCE AND SETUP DAYS

MSC relies on the help of our community to set up the boats at the start of the year and to take things apart for storage in the winter. If you have a maintenance skill that you would like to volunteer please let us know!
