Sailing Adult League

Welcome to our 2024 sailing league! There is nothing like being on the water in Annapolis. And no longer will you have the excuse of living in the world's capital for sailing and not knowing how to!

This will be a 3-week introductory course/league led by one of the premier sailing schools.

Annapolis Sailing School will teach you the basics on Week 1 and have you racing by Week 3. We'll be using Rainbow sailboats, and each boat will have an experienced sailor to guide you regardless of skill level.

Plan to be in crews of 4, and we welcome small groups, teams of 4, or free agents! You'll love the sailing school location, located at one of the premier waterfront properties with views in nearly every direction.
