    Day Sail Information
    Afternoon day sails take place aboard the club’s Catalina sloop HIATUS (berthed at Dana Point Harbor, West Marina). Crew should dress appropriately for the weather and sun exposure, and are free to bring snacks and beverages. The sail is subject to cancellation if the weather is inclement, or due to other unavoidable circumstances.

    The consumption of alcohol while Hiatus is underway is prohibited.

    Guest Policy

    Because of high demand by members for day sailing, we are unable to accommodate guests aboard Hiatus.

    Getting to the Boat

    Laguna Woods Village residents usually meet their skipper at Dock F at the posted start time for your sail.  To reach Hiatus  go over the bridge in Dana Point Harbor between the marinas, turn right and find a place to park in the last parking area, close to the Dana Point Yacht Club. Meet the skipper there and he/she has the key to open the gate onto the docks. The boat is in F-13.  Return time is dependent upon prevailing conditions, season, etc.; but generally, return is late afternoon to early evening.
