Hi Sailors,

I don't know about you, but sailing is not just wind in your hair. Like sitting in the cockpit and watching the sky turn orange to dark, sharing wine and sailing stories. Don't have a boat? Don't have a clue? Don't worry!

I've enjoyed Annapolis and Eastport for the last 4 years from a sailboat (maybe way too much!). When I bought a boat here, I decided to leave it here and commute up because the sailing community here was unique.  Annapolis isn't America's Sailing Capital for nothing! Since then I have started an ASA sailing school (SmarterSail) and looking to share the sailing experience. Our location is ideal. Just a walk across the Spa Creek Bridge to the heart of Annapolis and a 4 block crawl back from Davis' Pub on a bad night. Or was that a good night?...

Our Friday night sails and events are strictly social. Our other events are done with our "teaching hats on" with ASA sailing courses, docking and anchoring clinics, etc. Events that will make your sailing experience both safe and enjoyable!

We offer advice, lessons and low-cost sailing events while not forgetting the fun part. If you're in St Petersburg, FL or Lake Lanier outside Atlanta, GA sail with us on different waters too.

Join us if you're a sailor or want-to-be.

Fair Winds...

Gary

    "I consider myself new to sailing even though I have the 101/103 ASA certification. The problem is I don't go out often. I was hoping this meet up would encourage me to do it, by meeting friends and sailors."
