About this outing
Please make sure to arrive by 12:45am, we will meet at the Minneapolis Sailing Center which is a long Bde Maka Ska. Please dress appropriately for sailing and read the below information provided to us by Minneapolis Sailing Session. After reading the below information, you must complete both the medical and liability waiver. Without the waiver you won't be able to sail. This is a two hour sailing session from 1pm-3pm. PREPARING FOR YOUR EVENT Here are a few items to help you prepare to visit the Minneapolis Sailing Center and ensure you have a fun day! • For field trips, our events will be sailed on our Ensign Keelboats. These 23 ft long sailboats have a weighted keel at the bottom of the boat, preventing the boat from tipping over and keeping the passengers safe. That being said, we require sailors to wear lifejackets while on the dock and on the boat for safety. We have life jackets available for use free of charge. Sailors may get a little water splashed on them, but they will not need to swim or get in the water. • Students can expect to have a short introductory lecture on the shore where they will learn the basics of sailing and review safety instructions. From there, the sailors will split into groups of 5-7 on each boat along with an instructor and sail for 1-2 hours. Depending on the length of the event, our groups can bring lunches and have an afternoon sail as well. • Lessons meet at our Boathouse (3010 E Bde Maka Ska Parkway, Minneapolis, MN 55408). Please try to arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled start time to get settled in. We do not have a parking lot and you will need to find parking on nearby streets or parking lots around Bde Maka Ska. • Check weather conditions before leaving home and dress appropriately. We recommend quick-drying clothing with UV protective properties. Long-sleeve swim shirts, sunglasses, and wide-brimmed hats all help to prevent sunburn and long-term skin and eye damage. Feet and footwear will likely get wet. Shoes that can get wet or sandals with a back strap (Teva, Chaco, Keen) are all acceptable. Flip-flops are not allowed. Shoes must be worn at all times. • Sailors can bring a small bag or backpack with them that can be stored in our Boathouse during the sail. We encourage sailors to bring a full water bottle on the boat to stay hydrated. • We require all participants to complete our Medical and Liability Waiver (Online version: https://app.cleverwaiver.com/render/templateByRefId/627eb116f16506874588be1b & PDF version: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/578d280ed1758ea279df2aac/t/6a2726ba4838ea6c005e4beb/1780950714563/MSC+Medical+and+Liability+Waiver.pdf ) prior to the event.
