Thank You Sailors, For a Memorable 2025!
|

2025 was a year to celebrate! From seasoned skippers and instructors offering patient guidance, to new students and sailors stepping aboard with excitement and questions, everyone had something to learn and something to share. From first cast-offs to familiar arrivals, the docks became places of connection. Hands reached out to help guide the boat home, lines were caught with ease, and smiles greeted crews as they returned.

Regattas gave the season its pulse. Preparation sharpened focus: sails were trimmed with intention, and the air before each start held a quiet electricity. The Harvest Moon Regatta stood as a highlight, with long miles, shifting winds, nights sailing under stars, and the deep trust that forms when crew and boat move as one. Cruising trips, including our sail to Galveston, offered a gentle rhythm, where the horizon widened and the journey became the reward.

When the sails came down, the stories continued. Club dinner socials became an extension of the day’s sail. Tables overflowing with homemade dishes, cherished recipes, and favorite cookies welcomed everyone like old friends. Conversations stretched long after the plates were cleared, laughter flowed easily, and friendships formed without notice. What began as talk of wind shifts, weighing angles, and even physics, drifted into stories, memories, and the kind of connection only time together can create.

2025 came to a close with the Christmas Boat Lane Parade drifting past the marina. Boats draped in lights and shimmering on the water, offered an exciting and beautiful ending to a great year.

South Coast Sailing Adventures lives beyond miles logged and destinations reached. Our joy is found in sunsets that slow us down, winds that challenge us just enough, and weather that reminds us why we love being on the water.

This year we’re already dreaming of weekend regattas, a Mardi Gras cruise to Galveston and the Yachty Gras boat parade, then summer races, Day Sails, and the October Harvest Moon Regatta. As we look ahead to 2026, that sense of anticipation carries forward, another chance to sail together, celebrate together, and add new memories to a new year. We recognize 2025 as a year to celebrate and thank everyone who brought it to life!

Coming Soon
Second Wind Catalina 42'
Second Wind is the newest addition to the South Coast fleet! She was generously donated by a retired student now living in the Philippines. This vessel was gifted to the Gateway Community Boating Center (GCBC) a 501c3 non-profit organization. GCBC has placed Second Wind in our Vessel Management program to be used in our sailing school, captain and bareboat charters, club sails, and other cool excursions. Each time the boat is used, a portion of the funds generated go directly back to GCBC to support the center's community work and "Safe Boating Through Education" programs.
Second Wind is a 3 cabin, 2 head model, with traditional hoist mainsail, roller furling jib, chart plotter, autopilot and a shoal draft of 4'10". The interior is both spacious and beautiful, with a design that prioritizes comfort and livability. She is truly a great sailing vessel, and we are thrilled to welcome her to our fleet! She will be available for instruction, racing, chartering, and a variety of other adventures.

Club Skipper Opportunities
Add to your sailing resume skippering club events
We encourage our sailors who have earned their ASA 101, 103, 104, and 118 Docking certifications to skipper our club events! Stepping into the skipper role is a great way to build confidence, gain real-world experience, and continue developing strong leadership skills on the water. By skippering, you not only get valuable practice in planning, decision-making, docking and crew management, but you also have the opportunity to join in on the fun. As a thank-you for leading a club sail, you’ll receive a special coupon toward an upcoming club event. It’s a rewarding way to grow and keep your sailing journey moving forward! Club sails are held almost every weekend!
