What we’re about
Looking for local people to organize sails and events for this group.
This merry band of sailors, former sailors, and those new to the sport exists to encourage continued safe learning and fun on the waters of Narragansett Bay and the world.
Boat owners do you need crew? This is a great place to find people interested to sail with you.
Crew members wanting to get out on the water, include in your profile your level of sailing experience...and don't forget, those without sailing skills who bring great food aboard are often welcomed back time and again :)
All are welcome to join Joy on her international sailing charters around the world!
Welcome!
