Who We Are

Directions
Report
The Cal Sailing Club is located in the Berkeley Marina between Cal Adventures and Adventure Playground. The club has no phone. Unless you're towing a boat or carrying a windsurf board, the best way to CSC is by bicycle. The Bay Path runs along the shore and will take you from Richmond or Emeryville.
Sailing
Report
CSC's fleet includes 28 dinghies, 6 keelboats, dozens of sail boards, a couple kayaks, and two powerboats. We currently have eight Quests in the fleet. Designed by Jo Richards, Quests were designed to be the best small training boat available for beginners, and have trapezes and asymmetrical spinnakers for more advanced sailors.
Windsurfing
Report
The club's fleet of novice windsurf boards are stable and steady, making it as easy for beginners to stay upright on the water. They range from 160 to 250 liters in volume, and have centerboards to help you sail upwind. All are modern trainer boards that are wide and covered with foam for durability and traction.
