About SSP

Seattle's Community Boating Center

Sail Sand Point was incorporated on September 25 1998, in Washington State as a 501(c)(3) corporation. Sail Sand Point is located at the North Shore Recreation Area, on the campus of Sand Point / Magnuson Park on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

During these years, SSP has created sailing and small boat programs for youth and adults from the greater Seattle area. These programs have brought in youth and adults of all ages to participate in summer camps, year round youth racing clinics, adult classes, open sailing opportunities, boat storage and a variety of partnership programs. We offer programs at a modest cost to encourage all members of the community to participate, as well as scholarships and volunteer for boat use trades for youth and adults. SSP is focused particularly on youth and the development of lifelong skills of sailing and personal qualities of character, leadership and the awareness of environment.

Programs started in 1999 have expanded greatly and in 2012 we are offering new and creative programs and are experiencing an enthusiastic response. Our programs in the last seven years have been very successful, with a high rate of return of students and instructors. With the creation of a website and online registration, we have provided greater access to the community and more information to our participants.
