Open to Adult Program members and their guests
We'll have coffee and pastries for the early risers that don't succumb to their snooze button! Keel boats only (Keel Mercuries, Sonars, and Ideals). Standard ratings and guest policy applies.
Doors open at 4:45am, Sunrise is at 5:08am.
CALLING ALL SAILORS, WINDSURFERS, AND PADDLERS!
It’s time to show the Charles what we’re made of. Join us as we celebrate the Summer Solstice by filling the river with sails, boards, and boats of every kind. Whether you're cruising in a Sonar, carving it up on a windsurf board, or paddling out in a kayak, we want everyone on the water for this epic community sail-out.
We’re aiming to saturate the basin and show off the full force of our fleet:
58 Centerboard Mercuries
22 Keel Mercuries
6 Ideal 18s
8 Sonars
12 Lasers
18 420s
35 Windsurfers
60 Kayaks
Boats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, following our standard program procedures. You can save a boat on the Front of Dock for up to 15 minutes by clipping a lifejacket to it. Saved boats must be moved to the appropriate spot to keep traffic flowing, and staff may reposition boats as needed to support dock operations. Any boat left unattended for more than 15 minutes is fair game for another member.
We’ll have a photo boat capturing the action on the water and a camera stationed on the Longfellow Bridge, so bring your best sails, smiles, and summer energy.
Let’s pack the river and kick off Summer the CBI way!
After All Boats on the Basin, stick around for Sips & Sails (5pm-9pm), our new pop-up bar!
Kick back, enjoy a drink, and watch the sun set over the Charles. Whether you sailed at sunrise, sunset, or somewhere in between, this is the perfect way to close out the day.
More dates to be announced soon.
