SLA Annual Meeting

Thursday evening was the annual meeting of the Shilshole Liveaboard Association.  The weather was perfect and we had about 60 people that came out to enjoy a hot dog and meet their neighbors. Dockside Mail, The Fuel Dock, and Seattle Sailing Club graciously donated gift certificates for the free raffle. Thank you!

The SLA is a neighborhood association to foster education, safety and community with the liveaboards at Shilshole Bay Marina.  If you are interested in getting involved, please contact your Dock Captain (whose information is posted inside every gate).

Yacht/Boating/Cruising Clubs

Posted on by

Joining a group of fellow boaters is a great way to learn from others with a similar passion; more about your boat and how to use it, getting involved in boating-related activities (ie racing if you’re a cruiser, youth lessons), and of course, the social aspect of potlucks, dances and meeting new friends.  There are several nearby clubs and organizations that are listed here:

Corinthian Yacht Club Sloop Tavern Yacht Club
Shilshole Bay Yacht Club Puget Sound Crusing Club
Seattle Yacht Club Seattle Singles Yacht Club
Olympic Yacht Club
