Our Discover Sailing & Open House is returning this summer after a three year hiatus. If you’ve never joined before, why not make this your year – it’s a lot of fun!

Join us for an afternoon of fun, food and sailing on Newport Harbor.

This event is dedicated to getting new sailors on the water and for others to re-discover sailing during the longest sailing days of the year. If you’ve never sailed before, or want to share sailing with a non-sailor, this special day is for you! Of course we have other activities to share with you as well, so don’t miss a fun, free event.
