The South Sound Sailing Society is the largest sailing organization serving the southern Puget Sound of the Salish Sea. We welcome all sailors to join us in our many activities including club racing, cruising to exotic locations, monthly meetings (Sept to June) with notable speakers and presentations. Our general meetings are held at the Olympia Yacht Club building in Olympia, WA and are open to all sailing enthusiasts, so you can check us out before joining.

Next General Meeting – April 21: Summer Cruising and Racing
The days are getting longer, the sun warmer, and it will soon be time to get your boat out of the slip and into the waters of the Salish Sea, Georgia Strait, Southeast Alaska, and beyond. Or, get your boat prepared for summer evening races!
Our April 21 SSSS meeting will be designed to share cruising information based on where you want to go or prepare you for summer evening dinghy, Stars, and PHRF buoy races. We will have round-table discussions with our members who understand the best ways to get to and wander through the San Juan Islands; have circumnavigated Vancouver Island; know the best places to go in the South and Central Puget Sound; and visited the Broughtons. In addition, we will have table discussions for skippers and crew who are interested in racing their small sailboats, Stars, and sailboats with PHRF ratings this summer.
Pre-meeting Sessions: Also, we plan to have pre-meeting sessions on selling your sailboat or buying a new one, discussing the proposed hotel at the Swantown marina, whether there is interest in providing women sailors an opportunity to meet and learn from each other, and other topics.
Meeting Details: Doors of the Olympia Yacht Club at 201 Simmons St NW will open at 5:45 pm, the Pre-sessions will start promptly at 6:00 pm, and the General meeting at 7:00 pm. Free Parking is available in the lot south of the OYC main parking lot.
Have your significant-other, friends, families, and crew members join you. Plus, we love to have guests.
