DC Sail is the community sailing program of the National Maritime Heritage Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. Our mission is to promote and sustain affordable educational, recreational and competitive sailing programs for all ages in a fun and safe environment. DC Sail empowers its participants to develop self-respect and sportsmanship, foster teamwork, and cultivate sailing skills and an appreciation for maritime-related activities. In addition, DC Sail enhances the DC community by using sailing to bolster community spirit and volunteerism. We offer sailing programs for both adults and youth as well as ticketed public events and private charters on our 65-foot double-masted schooner, "American Spirit."
