The power of community

Together we raise sails and sailors

Behind every sailing experience is someone who makes it happen.

Volunteers are the beating heart of sailing—making it possible for people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to enjoy time on the water.

Week after week, rain or shine—you build a community where values are shared, skills are passed down, and sailors are raised together.

We know that you go the extra mile, and we’re here to support you and to celebrate the lasting impact that you make on our sport.
