Sailing Season

May 1 to October 15th

The club is open 7 days a week and each day contains 2 sailing blocks.​ 

​

Memberships are prorated monthly for those joining mid-season.

24 Hour Rule

The 24 hour rule allows members to reserve a bonus sailing block if it is available within the next 24 hours with out it counting towards your 3 reservation allotment. A great way to pack in even more sailing!

Members with only the ASA 101 certification will be restricted to within the "Inner Harbor," up to, but not past the end of Logan Airport.

Zone 2

Prerequisite: ASA 101 + 8 hours of Zone 1 Experience

 Zone 2 includes the "Inner Harbor" as well as the outer harbor. Zone 2 sailors are not allowed past Deer Island and the Eastern tip of Long Island nor are they allowed to sail past the Western tip of Long Islands and Moon Head point (between the ruined Long Island Bridge pilings).

Members with the ASA 104 certification have no restrictions, other than making it back to the dock by the end of the sailing session!

Guaranteed Sailing 

Every member is guaranteed a minimum of 4 weekday reservations and 2 weekend reservations per month.  That means at least 165 hours of guaranteed sailing per season! Best of all, most members utilize the Colgates much more than the minimum guaranteed allotment.

Each member is allowed to have up to 2 week day reservations on the calendar at a time. Reservation slots from Monday through Friday are considered "Week Day" reservations.

1 Week End Reservation
