Forums, General Discussion (Public), 2026 Splash Day!!!!

Hello ACSA Sailors!

It’s time to get the fleet back on the water! Join us for our annual Club-Assisted Splash Day on Saturday, April 25, with a rain date scheduled for Sunday, April 26.

As a volunteer-run social club, our success depends on teamwork. If you are splashing your boat, the expectation is that you will also lend a hand to your fellow sailors. This community effort is what makes our club thrive!

Event Details & Logistics

• Arrival: Please bring your boat to the State Marina Parking Lot between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM. This allows us to stage all boats effectively for the day.
• Mast Raising System (MRS): Operations begin at 9:00 AM sharp.
• Efficiency Tip: To keep the MRS line moving smoothly, please do not attach your boom or sails while at the station. These tasks should be completed only once you have reached your dock.
• Towing Assistance: If you need help towing your boat or trailer to the State Marina, please indicate this during your registration.

Registration & Fees

• Members: This event is a core benefit of your club membership (no fee).
• Non-Members: A $50 coordination fee will be assessed at checkout.
• Walk-ins: If you show up on the day without pre-registering, a $50 work-in fee will be charged (applies to both members and non-members, subject to availability).

Safety First

By signing up, you attest that you have reviewed and completed the Pre-Splash Checklist attached to the registration page. For the safety of our volunteers and the efficiency of the operation, boats that have not met these requirements may be unable to splash. Please ensure all registration questions are answered fully at checkout.

We Need Your Help! Volunteers Wanted

Richard Lee has graciously stepped up as our Event Coordinator, but we need several more hands to make the day a success. We are looking for volunteers for the following roles:

• Mast Raising System (MRS) Assistants: Help fellow members step their masts safely and efficiently.
• Ramp Assistants: Help coordinate the lineup at the ramp to keep the splash sequence moving.
• RIB Driver: Provide on-water towing assistance for boats heading to their slips.

Whether you are splashing a boat or not, we would love to have your help!

Volunteer signups are at the bottom of the event page.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the marina and getting another great season started!

Best regards,

Brent O’Keeffe
