What we’re about
Does an afternoon sailing on the Hudson River sound good to you? We’re a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization offering group sailing and social activities. Our mission is to introduce people to sailing, and we have been teaching safe sailing for over 40 years — for first-timers and experienced sailors alike.
Come meet people who sail or want to learn! We have a fleet of boats in Sleepy Hollow and Ossining sailing May through October.
Join our meetup group to see upcoming activities! Learn more and sign up for classes at sailhudson.org.
