Our Mission
The Englewood Sailing Association, Inc. is an all volunteer, not for profit 501(c)(3) organization established in 2002. We teach small boat sailing in a safe, fun and educational waterfront environment by sharing our skills, knowledge, and resources with Englewood area youth and adults.
Our Values
SAFETY – All activities emphasize our commitment to safe boating practices while teaching the essential elements of sailboat handling, water safety skills and respect for changing weather conditions.
FUN – We strive to create a healthy, enjoyable learning experience for all students during their introduction to sailing programs. Enjoyment breeds enthusiasm.
EDUCATION – Our core purpose is teaching the fundamentals of sailing. We provide quality direction, coaching and low cost instruction in small sailboats on Lemon Bay, while at the same time recognizing and emphasizing our responsibility as stewards of the environment.
One morning at our summer camps is dedicated to teaching the kids about the Lemon Bay environment. Kids gather samples from the enormous marine variety in Lemon Bay and learn more about the purpose of each species.
TEAMWORK – Our team of diverse adult volunteers and student coaches delivers meaningful sailing instruction afloat and ashore with emphasis on teamwork, sportsmanship, open communication, respect and cooperation.
LEADERSHIP – Our efforts in a positive environment are meant to inspire those under instruction to learn more, do more and become more confident as sailors. Knowledge and enthusiasm build self-confidence as sailing skills improve and mutual respect grows.
We see sailing as a great opportunity for kids to learn skills meaningful skills that will last a lifetime - both as sailors and learning to lead and coach others.
