Dear PSC Members,
This month's social meeting, we will meet at West Marine Alexandria, located at 601 S Patrick St. We are especially grateful to West Marine for hosting us and for offering PSC members special annual savings opportunities.
Happy hour and networking begin at 6:00 p.m., and the meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. with a short icebreaker. We encourage you to arrive early to enjoy pizza, celebrate our February/March/April birthdays with cake, have a beverage, browse West Marine’s merchandise, and spend time with fellow sailors.
Our special speaker this month will be Bert Bossar, Chairman of the Bermuda Ocean Race.
Bert is very familiar with the Chesapeake Bay, where he skippers his J/42 Allegiant in mid-distance regattas. He also leads his crew in annual long-distance events such as the Annapolis to Bermuda, Annapolis to Newport, Newport to Bermuda and Marblehead to Halifax offshore races. Bert is an active member of the Herrington Harbor Sailing Association and Eastport Yacht Club, where he also chairs the 2026 Annapolis to Bermuda Ocean Race.
If you or someone you know has a unique perspective, skill, or experience related to sailing and would be interested in presenting to our membership, please contact our Membership Commodore for more information.

Boats depart the docks by 4:30 PM at the latest (or earlier if a skipper has a boat full of people). All boats must be tied back up in their slips before sunset.
Come out and join us and practice your sailing. You might pick up a tip or be able to share your tips with each other in this relaxed atmosphere. Oh, did we mention that it's only $10 to participate (& free for Skippers)? How much better can it get?!

2026 PSC Memorial Day Raft-Up: Club-Chartered Boat #3
Boat: Jeanneau 39i Moxie
Skipper: Matt Tobias
This is a multi-day social sail over the Memorial Day weekend. We depart the marina on Saturday and meet other boats on the bay, raft-up, and spend the day on the water.
Location: TBD
The first night we anchor and then reconnect with the other boats. On the second night (Sunday), we dock in a marina (location TBD) and have dinner at local restaurant (TBA), get take out, or prepare meals on the boats (at each crew's preference).
Monday we return to our home ports.
This is a great multi-day experience, where you get to experience the liveaboard style, plus you get to raft-up with other boats. The sail is a great time to practice any skills you may need for a certification, or just to make sure you keep them sharp. If all you want is relax, there will be multiple fore-decks where you can do so.
Registration price only covers charter costs. Additional costs such as food, pump-out, fuel, and slip fees will be shared by the crew.
The charter boat is a monohull with three 2-person cabins in salon (sleeping six). You can check it out here.

Dear PSCers:
Monthly Membership social meetings are held the third Monday of every month (3rd Tuesday, when Monday is a holiday), except in December when the annual Holiday Party & Awards Dinner takes the place of the regular social meeting.
We normally have dinner together, hear from a guest speaker, and then conduct a business meeting. All year long, it's a good time!
We'll be at the Alexandria West Marine (601 S Patrick St) this month!
Happy Hour and networking starts at 6:00 pm and meeting starts at 7:00 pm with a short ice-breaker. We recommend that you come early to have some food (pizza!!), birthday cake for our April birthdays, and drinks, browse through West Marine's merchandise, and hang around with other sailors.
Do you or someone you know have a unique or interesting insight, skill, or experience related to some aspect of sailing you would be willing to present to our membership?

Last BBQ of the Season!
Register here: https://www.pentagonsailing.org/event-6550124
The Hydrilla Cup is a PSC social event hosted by the Racing Squadron. Join us for a day of races, fellowship, and a cookout!
The main event will be a series of two to three races on the Potomac River in which teams of PSC members compete against each other to claim victory on one of our Capri 22's. We'll follow the racing with a cookout at the marina.
This is also a great opportunity to try out for PSC's 2027 racing team.
This event is free, but registration is required since there's limited space on the boats. If you'd like to share a dish for the cookout, please send a note to racing@pentagonsailing.org. If you'd like to attend the cookout but not sail, there's unlimited space to attend.
Note: This event is held on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling; you must have an ID card (or a DIBDS card) that allows access to the base to participate.
