CHESAPEAKE SAILING ASSOCIATION
The Chesapeake Sailing Association was founded more than 20 years ago. We are
a small, friendly and informal singles club with about 60 members. Most of our
members live in the greater Baltimore area and our sailing is done mostly north of
the Bay Bridge. .We are a sailing club, not a sailing school. Though sail training is
not our focus, you will probably learn some sailing skills on our trips, and our
skippers are happy to share their experience.
Though we encourage non-sailors to take lessons at a sailing school (see our
"LINKS" page), CSA is a great way to meet new friends and "get your feet wet" and
see if you love sailing as much as we do! Welcome! ☺
Sailing is the shared interest that brought our members together. Our sails are to
enjoy and explore the Chesapeake Bay, and enjoy each other's company, we are
not a racing club. We do enjoy our occasional party as well! In the Summer we
have a club picnic and other get togethers. In winter we schedule one big party
and several smaller ones, and will often have "teaching socials" where some
aspect of sailing or boat-maintenance will be presented.
Currently we have about 12 members with sailboats. The non-boat owners in
the club are considered available crew. Through a Yahoo Groups site skippers
arrange with available crew for day and weekend/overnight sails.
