What we’re about
Come and join us at nwsail.com, Chicagoland's friendliest sailing and social club!
For a membership fee of only $60 you can participate and enjoy over 20+ scheduled sailing events throughout the season, as well as "pop-up" sailing events. We sail at weekends, weekdays and evenings, and socialize at regular meetings and at fun encounters. Our boats are located in all the main marinas in Chicagoland, so it will be easy to find a venue that suits you.
Maybe you'd like to check us out in person at our next monthly meeting? You don't have to be a member to attend. Sailors, and non-sailors alike, are ready to warmly welcome you to our very active club. The date and location are shown under the "Events" label.
If sailing was ever your dream, come and learn the "ins-and-outs" of sailing from our experienced sailors and skippers. If it was not your dream, come and be inspired to make it one! We always appreciate those who have a love of meeting new friends, being outdoors and being under sail on the water.
If you have any questions, do send an email to me: [membership@nwsail.com](mailto:membership@nwsail.com), and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. We hope to meet you soon!
