New Sailors
“Ever wondered how you were going to start sailing?”
You have arrived at the solution.
Our mission is to provide a simple way for people interested in sailing to become proficient sailors.
B Sailing Club provides a complete and simple way to learn how to sail, get experience sailing, and enjoy unlimited sailing with family and friends on fast, stable, easy-to-sail boats.
There is no huge monetary burden of buying a sailboat. There is no boat maintenance. We guide you through the whole process.
Our club provides a cost effective way for new sailors to enjoy the sport. The annual cost of membership easily beats the cost of owning a sailboat or frequent charters.
As a beginner, you will have unlimited access to me for personal training and practice. You will be able to skipper these boats safely. My focus is teaching hands-on, in varying wind and weather conditions. I prepare you to be a competent skipper able to take family and friends sailing.

"If the Bay looks like this—get off !" |
The club boats will race in the Wednesday Night Races on the Bay. Racing is a fun way to enjoy some friendly competition, learn more about boat handling. You are invited to sneak out of work and join us. We leave the dock by 5:30pm and are back around 8:30pm.
The fleet has prizes awarded at the Seabrook Beach Club immediately following the races.
