Sail Kingston Cove is a non-profit corporation formed in 2015. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors dedicated to assuring the program lives up to it’s mission and goals. Overseeing our operations is our Executive Director who has been with us since 2015. In addition to our volunteer Board members, many parents help us each year with special events and fund raisers. If you are interested in volunteering please contact us. We welcome everyone to join in our mission.
Over those years, we taught more than 1,200 kids how to sail. We receive unwavering support from the Port of Kingston, and the Kingston Cove Yacht Club.
At all times, Sail Kingston Cove has at a minimum one fully certified instructor on duty during all sailing camps offered by Sail Kingston Cove. We are always open to anyone 16 years or older to join our program, and work towards full certification as an instructor, and be a part of our sailing community. Sail Kingston Cove provides an opportunity for our instructors to qualify for a Level 1 sailing certification, administered by US Sailing. Once completed, these instructors are encouraged to continue with Sail Kingston Cove to their 18th birthday, at which time they will be fully certified as a small boat instructor.
Located at the Port of Kingston, Sail Kingston Cove operates off a float provided by the Port of Kingston, adjacent to A dock.

There is a humorous saying that most sailors have heard. it goes, "What is the definition of a sail boat race? The answer: Two sailboats going in the same direction." There does seem to be a competitive edge that sailors have, but in our view, it's more about comparing how well they are doing to other sailors, and what can they do to go faster and be better.
Our race camp builds skills by being on the water in similar boats in the same condition. Race clinic provides this environment and focuses on racing tactics, maneuvering skills, and performance.
Learning these skills takes practice. Once race camp is completed, sailors can practice every week the entire sailing season each Wednesday starting at 5:00 PM. Practice sessions will run through 7:00 PM with a race instructor on the water to continue teaching critical skills.
5 Day Camp - 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM $325.00
