Frequently Asked Questions

Free for your first year, but you need to fill out the form under the Membership tab in order to participate.  The second year cost will be $25 for the sailor.

All ages are welcome to join.  Youth can sail not only youth camps, but also cruising and racing.

This can be found under the Cruising, Solo and Racing group tabs.  They are at different times.

No most of the time.  You will either need to inform TCBS the day before that you are coming with your guide dog or bring someone to watch them.  If you tell us ahead of time, we could find volunteers.  On rare occasions your dog can join you on the boat during cruising.  That is if the dog stays in the cabin of the boat (so people don't trip).

Bring a water bottle for the boat.  You might get a little wet, so don't wear anything that you would be uncomfortable in.  You will be moving around the boat.  Wear sneakers

You will be in a boat by yourself, you will get wet, and you will control the jib, main and tiller all at the same time.  To get into this you will need to understand the basics, how to dock, and what to do if there is a big gust of wind.  Think of being in a deep kayak with sails.  That is what the boat is like.  The sighted guide will be in another boat.
