Early Afternoon Sails

***12pm-2pm***
Early afternoon sails tend to be more low-key than late afternoon sails, with lighter winds and calmer waters. Your Thunderbird sailboat glides along peacefully to create an enjoyable and mellow daysail on these light breezes. This is a general pattern; conditions vary day to day. Your captain may offer to cancel or postpone the sail if there is no wind, or you can opt to bob around beautiful Port Townsend bay and take in the sights.

Late Afternoon Sails

***3pm-5pm***
Port Townsend breezes tend to pick up a bit in the afternoon, creating a faster and more exciting sailing trip. In the afternoon you are more likely to feel the boat heel (lean onto its side) as the boat sets into her groove and flies around the bay. Your captain may need to cancel the sail if there is too much wind, but this is rare, as stronger breezes rarely begin before 5pm.

Good Day Guarantee

Weather is the biggest variable. Your sailing trip is designed to provide a wonderful, stress-free introductory experience. For that, you sail only on good days, guaranteed! If its not a good day, we will work with you to reschedule, or cancel your sail, free of charge.

In the Pacific Northwest, the North Pacific High sets in during the summer months, providing us with consistently wonderful sailing weather. It’s rare to cancel a sail. When you book a sail with Sail Port Townsend you can rest assured, it’s going to be a good day!

If the weather forecast looks unfavorable we will try to let you know a day in advance, but most weather-related decisions are made on the day of sailing, as conditions can change within hours. We keep an eye on the forecast to make sure your sailing day will be wonderful.
