SSS Corsair

Late post from Seafarers Regatta. We had lots of fun competing in all the different events, including ring buoy, rowing, and rope climb!

Can’t wait for next weekend 💪⚓️🚣🏼

Our scouts got to tour the Cape Sable at Pier 80 this week. It was built in South Korea in 2012 for Messina Line. Thank you to Mr. O’Callaghan for the tour! We love getting to learn more about various types of ships and the responsibilities on board as part of our program ⚓️

It’s been fun winter sailing on this month! We’re so appreciative to everyone for their generous donations to help fix up Corsair and can’t wait to sail more in the New Year once repairs are complete! ⛵️💙

2025 has been a great year of sailing, racing, rowing, going to regattas, doing advancement, and going on overnight trips this year. We are proud to offer our leadership and sailing program to over 100 scouts across the city but could use your assistance meeting our matching campaign goal! Visit https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/stfyc-foundation-matching to learn more and please consider supporting our programs before year-end, so we can access matching funds. 🫶

In honor of Giving Tuesday, please consider donating and/or sharing this post to help us access $25,000 in matching funds so we can replace Corsair’s keel and get one of our two primary sailing vessels back on the water again!

Lots of fun at Safety at Sea this weekend! 🚨 We got to set off flares, learn recovery at sea in dry suits, put out fires, and some of our older scouts got CPR & First Aid certified. Thanks to the for giving us some awesome tours of their boats and a demo of a helicopter swim rescue at Sector San Francisco!

Some light-wind sailing days at the beginning of summer cruise, in close company with plus our annual capsize drill at Power Squadron Island! Our capsize drill helps us stay ready for real emergency situations and is a great way for us to scrub our boat ⛵️

Scenes from week 1 of summer cruise! ⛵️

Had a great weekend in the delta with our annual Tinsley Toilers weekend! We managed to complete the plank flipping project on the west dock before the storm rolled in ⛈️ Thank you to all the toilers who helped us and especially to the ones that fed us!
