The Seven Seas Cruising Association (SSCA) and St. Augustine Sailing (SAS) are pleased to announce a jointly produced 2026 Ladybug Event / SSCA Spring GAM, taking place Friday–Sunday, March 6–8, 2026, at Camachee Cove Yacht Harbor in St. Augustine.

This collaborative weekend blends SSCA’s classroom-based cruising seminars with hands-on workshops, creating a flexible learning environment where theory and practice run side-by-side.

Participants may choose CLASSROOM or WORKSHOP formats during designated time blocks, while still sharing joint sessions, social events, and dockside discussions throughout the weekend. The design allows sailors to tailor their experience—whether they prefer in-depth discussion/workshops, or a combination of both.

Event Highlights:

  • Parallel classroom seminars and hands-on workshops
  • Practical cruising education focused on decision-making, skills, and real-world application
  • Shared dockside learning, networking, and social gatherings
  • Hosted at a full-service marina with immediate access to local sailing waters
  • Saturday night cocktail hour and Sunday night low country seafood boil
The full scheduled is in the works!
