ANSA membership consists of many people of different backgrounds. Some of us have sailing experience and some do not. However, All of us have a common interest that binds us together, WE LOVE TO SAIL!!

Our primary goal is to build competent crew or skippers of off-shore capable vessels 35ft or larger. To gain experience, members are asked to participate in day-sails, Chesapeake Bay raft-ups, or chartered off-shore cruises. ANSA was founded by current and former Sailing Coaches from the US Naval Academy. We continue the tradition of training members as both crew and skippers. Nationally recognized certificates are issued for each level of training achieved.

If you already have your own boat, and need trained crew, ANSA members would love to assist!

Are you an experienced Bay sailor looking for some camaraderie, or just a new sailor looking for formal training?
