Set sail with us for a breezy front-row view of the Alameda Sand Castle Contest! Alameda's Sandcastle Contest runs from 9 AM to 1 PM, and we’ll be cruising the shoreline between 12 PM and 1 PM to soak in all the sandy creativity.
As we admire the castles from the water, folks on shore will be eyeing our little armada of dinghies and wondering why they’re not out there too. Let’s show ‘em how fun it is to be part of ACSC—maybe we’ll even recruit a few new sailors just by looking awesome!
ACSC will provide sailboats, life vests, optional wetsuits, a dry bag to keep your lunch dry, and a safety boat with a certified sailing instructor on board.
What to Bring: Closed-toe shoes, sun protection, a change of dry clothes, potluck item for afterward!
Requirements to Participate:
Participants must have completed a course with ACSC within the past two years or pass a boat checkout. The checkout includes a written knowledge test and an on-water skills assessment.
Please note: ACSC programs are weather-permitting. We sail in conditions with winds under 15 mph.
