This , please consider a tax-deductible donation to support DC Sail. All contribution amounts are welcome!

Our mission is to promote and sustain affordable educational, recreational, and competitive sailing programs for all ages in a fun and safe environment. We do so through efforts like our Youth Scholarship Program, which funds low-cost opportunities for children in our local community to gain access to the joy of sailing!

We are excited to announce a new Fleet Revitalization Capital Campaign. This campaign will involve three phases, with a goal of replacing our Flying Scot Sails, Flying Scot Hulls, and FJ Sails over the course of the next several years. The first phase has a goal of $13,000 and launches today. All of our programming will be impacted positively by these efforts, and we need your help to make it a reality!
