British Virgin Islands-Jan 10-17, 26

Jump aboard a winter week in warm sun sailing the tropical breezes. 

Found myself smiling. I was bringing out of storage my warmest sweaters and long johns to sail in. At the same time gathering and preparing swimsuits and tropical sailing, dinner and beach wear. 

The second boat is coming together with Captain Kevin ready to go. Still have 2 berths but perhaps not for long.

Join  our fantastic week in the BVI's. Enjoy sailing a lovely Catamaran for a week in the tropical warmth and clear waters of the British Virgin Islands.

 

If have ASA 103, can take the ASA 104 or/and 114 during the week at reduced cost in warm kind winds and waters.

 

Only need ASA 101 or BK1 to join to get the most out our adventure and have fun. Sailing experience- counts too.

Best Image of the Week

Matt Aune and 2 meetup members joined the 2025 Lighted Boat Parade. They had a blast. Matt said the boats were like Burning Man contests on the water. Works of art. Said for 2026 which will be the 50th anniversary of the event should be an all hands project that starts late summer.

What Our Sailors Say

Darrel

I learned more in a few weeks of the instructor clinics series than over 20 years of sailing as a race boat owner and active sailor. The clinics helped to fill in the blank spots I didn't know I had.

What Charter's new to Afterguard Say

Dan

Very nice boat. Very well equipped. Brand new main sail. We sailed as a bare boat. Mary was very accomodating. Anni gave us good instructions on all the operations of the boat. I have sailed many times in SF and knew the area well. The boat performed as expected in the bay.
