Where do you live? In Boston, for example, there's Community Boating, where you can get out on the water for a couple hundred dollars per season and learn with peer-to-peer instruction.
- yan 17y agoI'm near Baltimore, so there's definitely a community here. Some clubs cost near $800/yr, which is a bit too much for me.
- URSpider94 17y agoGoogle is Your Friend. Check out the downtown sailing center, http://www.downtownsailing.org/ http://www.downtownsailing.org/ . $245 per season for a crew membership.
- krschultz 17y agoYou don't need to join a club to sail, only the owner of the boat really needs to be so you can usually find someone who is willing to teach you on their boat.
- fallentimes 17y agoExcellent; I live in Boston. Is this what you're talking about? http://www.community-boating.org/ http://www.community-boating.org/
- URSpider94 17y agoYep, that's it. Hop on the T, get off at the Charles/MGH stop, and walk across the footbridge to the Esplanade. They're open until the end of October, so you've got another month of good sailing left for this year (dress warm!).
- TrevorJ 17y agoAnyone know of anything like this in west Michigan?
- tesseract 17y agoThe Grand Rapids Yacht Club (on Reeds Lake in East Grand Rapids) has some classes but I don't know if it's really comparable to Boston's program. Community Sailing sounds great - I wish I'd found out about it before I spent the summer of 2008 in the Boston area rather than once it turned cold in the fall.
- TrevorJ 17y agoOh, that's a good call, I will have to check that out. Are you from this area as well?
