Since we launched the SpinSheet Century Club in 2014, we have heard many, many times, “I’m sure I’ve sailed 100 days.” Many of these sailors can’t seem to produce proof of it. Think about it. A hundred is a lot. If you sail four times per week from May 1 through Halloween, with no exceptions, you still would only hit 80 days.
The best way to knock off 100 is to take a sailing sabbatical. The next best way is to sail five days a week; next is to sail all winter long. The sailors who really impress us are the ones with full-time jobs who manage to spend 100 days on the water in the calendar year (read about a few below)… Maybe 2016 is the year for you to join the SpinSheet Century Club?
Congratulations SpinSheet Centurions!
The Chesapeake Boating Club (CBC) would like to congratulate club members Tim Mooney, Catherine Tobin, and Sarah Robertson for earning their spot in the Spinsheet Century Club.
Tim’s 100 outings consisted of sailing on the club’s assortment of J/80s, Harbor 20s, Cal 22s, Ideal 18s, J/105s, and J/32s. Catherine’s outings with the CBC were predominantly on the J/32s which she cruised to a number of destinations here on the Bay, including St. Michaels and Rock Hall for the Pirates and Wenches Fantasy Weekend in August. Sarah utilized both the sail and power fleet to reach her Century Club mark, with her outings ranging from overnights on the Albin 36 to sunset cruises on the DC 22s.
Each of these members took advantage of a great boating season and opportunities the club offers for reaching their personal goals on the water. CBC is proud of each of its members’ achievements and was happy to help them along their way.
Don’t forget that CBC also offers a number of winter sailing opportunities which include the Annual British Virgin Island Flotilla, the Heineken Cup Regatta in sunny St. Martin, as well as the Caribbean Yacht Rally.
