10.3.24 Update: Thank you for your patience as we continue the cleanup from Hurricane Helene. Storm Recap: We're pleased to report that the Sailing Center came through the storm in good shape. The boats in Bay 1, Bay 2, the classroom, and the parking lot are all fine. The docks did suffer some damage, but most of the repairs were completed yesterday, with final touches happening over the next few days. The St. Pete Municipal Marina experienced serious power outages, and they're working hard to restore service. Unfortunately, the Sailing Center is still without power, but we hope this will be resolved soon. In the meantime, our team is working to relocate boats back to their normal spots. Dry storage members are welcome to bring their vessels back to the facility. Regular practices will resume on Monday afternoon, and we’ll begin reopening the Sailing Center for member use starting Tuesday, with more boats becoming available each day. Thank you for your continued support! ... See More See Less

All of our assets—coach boats, dinghies, keelboats, and equipment—are safe and untouched! However, our docks and ramps did sustain some damage. A barge crew is already at the facility, hard at work making the necessary repairs. Please stay tuned to our social media and emails for updates on programs and classes.

Do you expect to be open for free sailing this weekend?

Good afternoon, members, We’re deeply sorry to see how Hurricane Helene has impacted so many of our members.

Below is an update on how each of our properties fared during the storm, along with information on reopening: Sailing Center: The boats and facility sustained only minor damage, but the docks have suffered and are currently unsafe for use.
