Any Sailors here?

I've sailed but only for a couple of years in San Francisco, CA about 12 years ago. Took some classes to learn the basics and went sailing regularly on weekends. I would need some refresher practice but would definitely love to get into it again. If ever there was a local sailing club of sorts around here I would jump at the chance.

 

I have sailed Greece, Thailand and Whitsundays in Australia but not for about 10 years and only on rentals through a company called Sunsail.

I was really surprised how The Philippines dosnt have a larger sailing community. With so many islands to explore I have often wounded about sailing again.

 

never sailed on the salt water but i sailed a Melges E Scow in my younger days. fun stuff...

Anyone know if there are haul out facilties in Cebu? Otherwise a keeler would be in trouble here, which leaves you with something you could beach easily.

 

I also wonder if there is a market for leisurely cruises around the islands. I don't mean a (old rusty) ferry from A to B, but something with a bit of luxury and stop-offs at various places (assume have to use smaller vessels to get from ship to shore as few places would have facilities to dock a cruise ship).

A small cruise ship would be ideal.

 

I think a fair few cheap ones would be on the market now if not soon....

 

I think it's not so easy to reserve the more expensive, private cabins.
