Where

North end of Belmont Harbor

*We’ll meet at the north end of Belmont Harbor in the grassy area east of the F Dock between the road and the seawall. Going out on the boats is of course weather dependent. Unless it’s storming, we will barbecue. Fee is non-refundable.

Parking: there is pay at the box parking north of the Recreation Drive exit, across from the tennis courts for .50/hour. There is also parking in the Marovitz golf course lot, which is east of the tennis courts, for $1.00/hour. This area is about a 10 minute walk to the picnic area. All parking, closer to the event, south of the Recreation Drive exit, is a pay at the box flat fee of $12. The harbor can also be accessed by a bus which stops at Addison and then a walk through the Lake Shore Drive underpass at Roscoe. Please check with the CTA for more information.

Friends and Family Picnic and Sail Saturday August 8th

Join us for a picnic and a sail on Saturday, August 8th at the north end of Belmont Harbor* from 1:00pm - 5:00pm. We'll picnic and offer brief sails throughout the afternoon. This is a great opportunity to get your non-sailing friends and family out on the water for a brief sail. Enjoy great barbecue fare: burgers, brats, veggie burgers, salads, cookies and non-alcoholic beverages. There will be a charge of $5 per person for Sail Chicago members and $7 per person for Non-member Students and their guests and ($3 for all kids 12 and under) to cover the cost of the food. Be sure to bring a chair or a blanket to sit on. There are no picnic tables in the area. Also, plan to get there early to sign up for a sail in order to avoid a long wait. Sails will be brief.

If you plan to join us, please register and pay by August 2nd. This deadline is necessary in order to ensure we will have enough food for all. If you have questions please contact Pat Webster, social@sailchicago.org.

Also, true to Sail Chicago’s spirit of volunteerism, help with food prep, set up, grilling, clean up, etc. is appreciated. We also need help with sailing the boats up and back to Belmont and with taking people out during the afternoon. Please contact Pat if you’re interested in helping out.
