It is said, “The water belongs to everyone.” Unfortunately, access to the water is not universal.
The DSC’s targeted outreach programs strive to break down all racial, socioeconomic and physical barriers to
participation.
The Downtown Sailing Center (DSC) is an 11-year-old, award winning, non-profit, 501 (c)(3) community sailing
center offering area residents sailing instruction and access to sailing without the cost of private ownership
and boat maintenance.
Our mission is to make the joy of sailing accessible to everyone, regardless of age, income, ability
or disability.
We do this by...
...Offering the community affordable access to quality sailing programs and event,
...Providing education in sailing and water safety skills at all levels for all ages and abilities,
...And sponsoring both recreational and racing opportunities.
The DSC’s many sailing programs include junior sailing day and overnight camps, outreach programs for Baltimore
City youth and disabled individuals, adult lessons, open recreational sailing, charters, and racing.
