Hunter e36 Electrics Join the Fleet

Submitted by sailtime on Fri, 05/11/2012 - 18:03

This month, we take delivery on two of the first electric engine sailboats from Hunter Marine. In both instances, the primary auxiliary propulsion is provided by an electric motor. Both yachts have a diesel generator to charge the batteries if needed. There has been much talk in the industry about greening the sailing experience and certainly many DIY sailors have converted but the e36 is the first production sailboat manufactured new with this type of set up.

Detroit Offers Two Locations to Sail

Submitted by sailtime on Mon, 04/30/2012 - 17:47

For the past seven years, SailTime Detroit has been helping sailors go sailing on Lake St. Clair in Detroit, which is also known as,  “the Heart of the Great Lakes”. It's a great place to explore as there's always something new to see and do. Nearly every time you go out you see freighter traffic, either up-bound or down-bound on the freighter channel. Then there's sailboat racing at least two or three days a week and sometimes we get to see the go-fast boats speeding across the lake. 

On Lake St. Clair we sail out of Shore Club Apartments and Marina. You wouldn't believe our entrance to the marina. It's a tree-lined boulevard. And talk about amenities - heated outdoor pool, convenient bathhouse, exercise facility and sauna, picnic area, barbeque grills. And best of all, quick and easy access to Lake St. Clair.

We recently go this nice review from SailTime Chicago Member, Brian Kilpatrick!

We had the opportunity to sail with SailTime last summer and could not have asked for a better experience! Not only is the process user-friendly, the team at SailTime did everything to ensure we had a pleasant experience, from training courses to answering weekend phone calls (thanks Ryan!) - they made sure we were comfortable every step of the way.

Sailing in Philadelphia has never been this easy! Our Philadelphia sailing base offers memberships conveniently located at a dock in the center of the city. Not only can you enjoy sailing on the river you will also be able to enjoy all the great options this iconic urban center provides.

To begin your adventure, step onboard at the Philadelphia Marine Center. From here you're in the heart of the things this big, historic, progressive city has to offer. Philadelphia was recently named as "the next Great American City" by National Geographic Traveler magazine. Our dock location includes a large, private patio compete with outdoor furniture, positioned with a riverside view. Since the marina sits underneath the landmark Ben Franklin Bridge, we couldn’t ask for a better viewing spot for its nightly light show or for the beautiful fireworks displays frequently blasting off over the river.
