Who We Are
Our Mission and History
“Sail Sand Point’s mission is to bring the joy and life-enhancing benefits of sailing and small boats to people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds…”
If you’ve been watching others sailing around Seattle and curious about learning yourself, here’s your chance!
Our Adult 101 Sailing Classes are designed for total beginners. No experience needed, just your willingness to try something new and exciting! Over this two week class, you’ll learn the basics, get hands-on time skippering and crewing a boat, and build the confidence to sail on your own or with a friend.
Once you’ve got the skills, you can keep the momentum going with rentals! This class prepares you to take the skills check and take a boat out on your own!
Weeknight + weekend sessions available, but we anticipate that they will fill quickly. Register at sailsandpoint.org!

Meet SSP’s new Youth Program Director, Peter Hall!
“I’m very excited to join the Sail Sand Point team. As a kid I sailed regattas here many times and have fond memories of this community. I’ve been sharing my love of sailing for many years now. As a youth instructor and program supervisor, running races for green fleet sailors, and teaching fellow students and staff at Western Washington University. I’m looking forward to running the SSP youth programs and bringing my knowledge and connections along with me. My goal is to continue what has made SSP’s programs great while making some changes to better support our students and staff. Thank you for your support and I hope to get to know many of you as we kick off this sailing season.”
Stop by and say hello! Looking forward to a great season of youth camps and regattas with Peter’s support!

We’re less than two weeks away from the first weekend of rentals, and we’d love your help getting ready for that opening day.
Please join us THIS Saturday, April 11th from 10AM to 3PM (at the latest). Our biggest priority is getting boats cleaned up and rigged, but we also hope to get the site looking a little prettier after a long winter. Snacks and equipment provided, so no need to bring anything except a lunch if you want. In true Seattle spring fashion, we won’t know if we’ll get rain or shine so prepare layers accordingly as well 🙂
See you soon!

Happy registration day eve! Just a reminder, camp and class registration will open tomorrow at noon PST! That’s Tuesday, March 3rd at noon!
Our team will be onsite for support, but due to the office construction we highly recommend emailing your questions. We’ll post a phone number in the morning as well on the homepage of the website that will connect you to multiple staff members.

Camp and class registration opens this Tuesday, March 3rd at noon PST! We couldn’t be more excited about this upcoming season.
If you’ve been with us a while, you know our youth programs in particular can fill incredibly quickly. Following registration tips on the homepage of our website will be key to securing your spot. Take a few minutes to review those, log yourself OUT of Active Network (we know it’s counter intuitive), and be ready right at noon.
We’re thrilled to welcome new and returning campers/adult learners for a summer of adventure, growth, and memories you’ll never forget.
