About SailAway

You don’t need to own a boat in order to sail on Lake Grapevine!

By joining the Grapevine Sailing Club’s SailAway Program, you can sail any of three Club-owned sailboats - two Catalina 22 sports and a Catalina 22' standard. The boats are in slips at Scott’s Landing Marina ready to go and can be chartered in 5 hour intervals for cruising.

Cost

The cost to join the SailAway Program is $425 annually, in addition to Club dues; truly a bargain compared with other options! Plus, the boats are maintained by the SailAway Participants. In addition to sailing, you have the chance to learn repair techniques from fellow sailors and experience the camaraderie of the group during “work parties”.

How to Join

To join SailAway, you must first be 18 years old or older and a member in good standing of the Grapevine Sailing Club (if you are joining the Club at the same time, complete that process first).  You must pass three check rides ,one on each boat, before becoming a SailAway Skipper. Following that, you are allowed to charter a boat through an online reservation system.

Waitlist

In order to ensure the best experience for all SailAway participants, there is a limit on the number of participants allowed. If we are at the maximum, you will be placed on a waiting list and contacted when there is an opening in the Program.

Work Parties 

Work Parties are held monthly, March through November, weather permitting, at 8:30AM to keep the boats in top condition. Normally they are the 2rd Saturday of the month.  View the Club's calendar for details.

Special work assignments can be arranged for those of you who cannot attend on a Saturday. Remember, you committed to participate in 1 session per quarter. Doing so helps the program be effective for all.
