Open Ocean Sailing Club
Do you work in LA tech as a developer, founder, investor, or something else? Join us for laidback sails on Santa Monica Bay.
small group sailing
Expand your crew
Each sail is an informal small group of just 3 or 4. There is no real agenda other than getting to know other members of LA's tech community who are also doing interesting things. Maybe meet a future co-founder, link up with a developer, find an interesting company you would like to get involved with ...or just enjoy a sail on the Pacific Ocean.

Let's Sail
Tell us about yourself
Sailing groups are small and hand-assembled. We try to match four people who do different things (e.g. one developer, one founder, one pm, one angel) on a single trip rather than four people who all do the same thing. So... help us understand who you are. Thanks!
