Sailing at aCSC is awesome.

​Where else can you dissect a squid, learn buoyancy from an aeronautical engineer, and get a chance to 'turtle' a Catalina?

ACSC is a non-profit sailing instruction organization, based in Alameda. We feel that getting our community (both the little kids and the adults) out on the water in boats is a wicked good thing. Sailing is fun, and it keeps you young at heart, connects you to nature, and teaches you life long skills.
Your tax deductible donations go directly into helping us:

• recruit instructors,
• provide scholarships,
• repair the occasionally banged up boat,
• and keep the "sails trimmed and bilges dry" for our program operations. 

So this holiday season, please help us spread the joy of Learning through Sailing for the children, adults, and families across our San Francisco Bay Area.

Youth ScholarShips!

Sailing is for everyone.
A huge part of fulfilling our goal is providing youth scholarships. All funds from our scholarship fundraisers go directly to helping local families in need!
If you can give, we appreciate your support, and if you need help, please apply.

​Did you know that your Amazon purchases can support the Alameda Community Sailing Center? True story.
Head to smile.amazon.com and
​select ACSC Incorporated.

At no cost to you, the Amazon Smile foundation donates 0.5% of each eligible purchase. Every little bit helps, and if it pays for some fiberglass and resin, then I say it's a good thing.

WHAT ABOUT US ADULTS THAT WANT TO LEARN TO SAIL?

Young and young at heart alike, can enjoy learning to sail at ACSC. Check out our Adult Learn to Sail, and Family Learn to Sail classes available. And if you want to race? Well, I'll point you to Mike and Rich. They are always scheming something involving buoys, race courses and a penalty flag or two.
