Sailing Events

ANSA hosts sails on member's boats and ANSA boats in order to provide our membership with opportunities to practice their sailing skills, have fun on the water, and enjoy the beautiful Chesapeake Bay.  Sailing events are a great way to gain experience and obtain your log hours.  Sails are open to all members and their guests.

Note that sails may be during the week or on weekends and at different times and locations, depending on what vessel is being used.


CANCELLATION POLICY:   If you cancel your sailing registration within 1 week of the event, you will NOT receive a refund.  You payment will be considered a donation to ANSA.  If ANSA cancels a sail due to weather or any other reason, you will receive a full refund.

All Sails are skippered by an ANSA qualified Skipper and ANSA policies and procedures must be followed.  No alcoholic beverages are permitted on ANSA Sails.  The ANSA skipper is in charge of the vessel and the crew.

Please register for no more than TWO Sails at a time to give all members a chance to participate.
