Come Sail!
First Time Sailors Information
The Konocti Bay Sailing Club welcomes first time sailors but we have a few suggestions to make your maiden voyage more enjoyable and safe. We would encourage would be sailors to sail on Wednesdays with the OSIRs. Skippers have more time to teach sailing and the pace is slower. Also, every fourth Saturday KBSC holds a long race where newcomers are welcomed. All crew are strongly urged to attend the pre-race meetings - Wed. noon, Sat. 11am.
