Tennis onboard the Orchestra

As anyone ever played tennis onboard the Orchestra.....if so, how is it?

I have no idea what it would be like to play tennis on a moving platform ... but I intend to try it out.:confused:

Anyone know if there are certain hours that tennis is allowed as it looks like the court also doubles as a basketball court. Do you need to reserve time and is there any cost to reserve time?

Either way I am bringing my tennis gear for possible use between martinis!:p

I love tennis and will be sailing on 2/28 if anyone is looking for a game

Hi frenchie,

We have a roll call started already for this date. Maybe you'll find a tennis player there.

Come say hi:

It does double as a basketball court, but it was empty most of the time we wanted to use it. There are no reservations (first come, first serve - no pun intended). You may want to bring your own balls, because the ones they loaned out were pretty flat.

Enjoy...

My wife and I are avid players and will be on the March 7 sailing. I don't want to bother with packing my racquet and bag, but will take tennis shoes and a can of tennis balls. The pictures I've seen make it look smaller than a regulation court, does anyone know if it is or not ?

Yes, it's definitely smaller than regulation. Not sure on dimensions, but I'd say it is probably around 2/3rd's regulation.
