1. Is sailing in the Bay likely
to make me seasick? Seasickness
is never a problem, but if you feel better taking motion sickness
medicine feel free, you should do so one hour before sailing
2. How long does the trip last? The tour
takes about 2 to 3 hours depending on wind and sea conditions.
3. What about children? In general we do not encourage
children under the age of 10 although we have no rule. Please understand that
this is a working vessel and consider if your children would enjoy the experience,
they must be supervised at all times and there is little
room to move around. Nobody knows your kids better than you so if you think it's
something they would enjoy and not be a problem for other passengers, we welcome your decision.
4. How will I know what to do on
the boats? Before the race you will attend a briefing,
during which we will give a little history of the America's
Cup. A skipper will brief you about what you can expect and
give you training in your specific crew position.
5. What should
we bring? You may bring bags and towels etc. as there
is dry storage below decks on the boats.
6. What sort of shoes should we
wear? It is best to wear soft soled shoes. Certainly
no high heels nor black soles that will scuff.
7. Can I bring my camera or will
it get damaged? You can bring your camera. Except
for rain, it’s unusual for any water to come into the
boat.
8. Will we be able to get something
to drink on board the boats? There are complimentary
drinks on board: water, soda, and sometimes beer.
9. Are there restrooms on the boats?
There are no toilets/heads on board our yachts, although there
are plenty back at the compound. Be sure to go before you
leave if you think you won't last 3 hours. An uncomfortable
emergency port-a-potty is on board for extreme emergencies.
10. Will I need to bring any money
with me? You might like to bring money for crew gratuity
if deemed appropriate, and perhaps you would like to purchase
a souvenir of your exciting sail.
11. What souvenirs do you sell?
Back at our dock or on-line we sell t-shirts, caps, polo shirts,
jackets, etc. We also frequently have a professional photographer
on board taking pictures that may be purchased.
12. Do you accept credit cards
or US dollars?
We accept US Cash, Travelers Checks, Visa Card, Master Card,
American Express and Discover cards.
We look forward to seeing you on
the Bay!
