Discover Sailing is a nationwide program that offers thousands of people each year the opportunity to experience the thrill, excitement, and charm of sailing for the first time at no cost.
Sailing is a recreation that is enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds.
Whether you're looking for a leisurely way to enjoy the water or an exhilarating new challenge, Discover Sailing serves as introduction to the sailing lifestyle. The short-term goal of the program is to show people that sailing is an accessible and fun activity that can be enjoyed by individuals and families alike. The long-term goal is to bring new sailors into the sport in order to grow the sailing industry. Discover Sailing particpants will walk away from their first sail wanting to know more about the lifestyle, in turn creating more sailors and more consumers of sailing products. It is an opportunity to get out on the water with a trained skipper who provides valuable information and a chance to become familiar and comfortable aboard a sailboat.
