2026 Cruise Schedule

Below is the your 2026 Islander 36 Cruise dates as determined by your Board. The theme is inclusion, adventure and family fare. Many yacht clubs do not confirm event dates until after the start of a new year, so at the moment these dates are tentative and any dates not yet confirmed are identified with "TBC" next to the date.

We'll add links you can click on to "Get Details / Make Reservations," and to let the Cruise Coordinators know you are joining the fleet. On-line registration forms will be available as individual cruise details are nailed down.

Questions? Contact acting Cruise Chair Anthony & Joanne Taylor

Thursday, Jan 1 'Round Alameda Parade It's time for the really fun and unique way to start another year of sailing with the New Year's Day 'Round Alameda Parade with visits to the yacht clubs of Alameda. This can be a really fun day on the water if the weather is good (really is a "fair weather" event!) There is something special about our ability to get out on the water on the first day of a new year - something many of our members are envious of! To see what it's all about and to sign up, follow: 'Round Alameda Parade 2026.
Sat February 28 Spring Meeting at Encinal Yacht Club. Cree Partridge and Sean Shigley of Berkeley Marine will be our guest speakers. Cree and Sean collaborated on the creation of Glass Slipper, a carbon fiber Antrim 40 sled with an electric power plant. Additionally, they will share their experience performing over 60 electric repowers. Should tidal conditions allow we may even get a tour of Glass Slipper. (10 foot Draft!)
