Social Sail

During sailing season (late April to late September), SCOW meets every Thursday evening for Social Sails at Washington Sailing Marina from 6:00PM to dusk.  Flying Scot excursions around the lagoon, accompanied by an on-shore cookout and socializing.  Potential members and guests are welcome to attend.

If your interested in hosting one of SCOW Social Sails, take a peak inside the Social Sail for Dummies or the shorter version, Social Sails in a Nutshell, and find out how easy and fun it is! For those who want to make sailing buddies without exploring your culinary side, try volunteering for Dockmaster. Take the Dockmaster Rules for the Road for a spin to see what it's all about.

But what ever you do ... come on down!!

Social No-Sail

Replacing Social Sail during the off-season (December to April) are Social No-Sails. Events will vary. For more information, contact social@scow.org.

Potomac River Activities

Each month there are SCOW events, usually on the weekends, that include sailing on the Potomac River. These will include boat raft ups, picnics, and more. Crewing opportunities for both River and Bay Activities are available.

For more information contact baycrew@scow.org and let 'em know you're looking for crew opportunities.

Monthly Membership Meeting

Our general membership meeting is held the second Monday of every month, except December, at Capital City Brewery, 2700 South Quincy Street, Arlington,Virginia 22206 (click for map). Socializing starts at 6:30 p.m.  The short business meeting begins at 7:30 p.m., followed by a Speaker on sailing related topics.

These meetings are an ideal way for new and potential members to get familiar with the various activities offered by SCOW. Our meetings provide reports on all the goings on of the club. Additionally, each month, a special program geared to sailors is provided.

Sailboat Racing

Every Wednesday evening starting May through September, members meet at the Washington Sailing Marina at 6:00 pm for informal races. Membes race the club's Flying Scots, but members also race their own boats. No racing experience is needed and all members are welcome to join in. Come on down and crew!

SCOW members also race it's two cruising boats in the Daingerfield Island Cruising Fleet race series every Tuesday evening from the third week in April through October.

Chesapeake Bay Activities

Throughout the sailing season there are SCOW sailing events that occur either on or near the Chesapeake Bay. Members who have boats on the bay or who can trailer boats to the water will gather for raft ups and/or dock parties during the summer months. To lead a bay sail or to invite SCOW members aboard your boat on the bay, please contact bay@scow.org.

If you wish to be added to a "general" crew list for bay boats, contact baycrew@scow.org. All bay sails listed in the SCOW calendar are tentative until a leader is announced. News about bay sailing events will be announced by email.

Ask how YOU can lead a bay sail! Ask how - even if you do not have a boat on the bay!!! Contact: bay@scow.org.
