Club Profile: Hudson River Community Sailing Center

Hudson River Community Sailing develops leadership and academic success in underserved New York City youth through sailing education and provides maritime education and recreation to the community at large.
Founded in 2007 to serve the urban community, we partner with public schools to offer credit-bearing academic programs, internships, mentoring, and college readiness. Our youth development platform uses sailing, boat operation, and boat building to further academic skills and instill the qualities of character necessary for college and career success. We also serve the broader community through affordable marine education and recreation for individuals, groups, schools, businesses, and families.

We have 15 J/24s sailboats, the most popular keelboats in the world. They are small boats that are fast and sporty, while being stable and safe. The J/24 is typically crewed by 5 people. Get in on the fun and find out why the J/24 is a great boat to learn the ropes on!   We also own a small fleet of Hobie Cats and a 28′ Precision pocket cruiser.
Our facility is an award winning pier and boathouse, located on the western side of the West Side Highway at 26th Street. We are an affiliate of New York River Sports, making up the most unique water sport access point in our city.
