CONGRATULATIONS TO THE
CLASS OF 2021
Eleven extraordinary individuals join the ranks of our nation's sailing legends in 2021. Their stories span over 150 years and their varied backgrounds and talents culminate in excellence. While their methods and perspectives may differ, they are all motivated by a shared passion for harnessing wind and water, and inspired by the magic that happens when the two intersect.

The Sailing Museum- Opening May 2022
Sailing can provide a breakthrough moment that changes a child’s understanding. A thought-provoking encounter that shifts a person’s perspective, or an immersive experience that transports us to another place and time.
Interactive educational exhibits will provide real-world applications of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) concepts that come alive through sailing; and visitors of all ages, non-sailors and sailors alike, will experience the magic that happens when wind and water meet. The museum will be a national home for sailing, promoting the sport we love across the country and introducing it to new audiences.
Sailing Starts Here!
