SpinSheet Crew Parties: connect with sailors!
This month, join us at our annual SpinSheet Crew Parties to connect sailors and would-be sailors on the Chesapeake Bay as sailing season begins. All three gatherings are free and open to the public, with a cash bar available for guests. Users of our Crew Finder database will qualify for a BOGO discount to the Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show.
The Hampton Crew Party will launch the season on Saturday, April 22, at 5 p.m. at Marker 20 in Hampton, VA. Next will be the Solomons Crew Party on Sunday, April 23, from 4-6 p.m. at the Southern Maryland Sailing Association.
The final party is the largest of the three gatherings: the Annapolis Crew Party, set to unfold from 4-6 p.m. on Sunday, April 30, at the Eastport Yacht Club. Sailors will enjoy live music by the Geckos steel drum band. When the party ends, guests are invited to stay for EYC’s Opening Ceremony for the Visit Annapolis & Anne Arundel County Santa Maria Cup, an international women’s match racing event.
All sailors and would-be sailors have to do is show up at one of these parties with a smile on their faces and put on a nametag. SpinSheet staffers will guide newcomers to our ‘ambassadors,’ who can answer questions about their sailing goals and best practices for crewing on new boats. Bring friends!
As well as in-person events, SpinSheet also offers a free online Crew Finder service. As added incentive to join before the Crew Parties, sailors who sign up for the Crew Finder and/or update their existing profile will receive a discount code for “buy one, get one free” tickets to the Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show (April 28-30).
