Mission
The objective of the club shall be to develop, encourage and stimulate interest in sailing in the Palm Beach County area, to promote fellowship and camaraderie among local and visiting sailors, and to offer sailing education and training to members and others.
Our History
The Palm Beach Sailing Club was founded in 1966 by sailors who wished to promote the sport in West Palm Beach. As the oldest club in the area, the PBSC offers its members many sailing related services and an active social calendar. The clubhouse is a waterfront residence built in the 1920s and offers a panoramic view of the Intracoastal Waterway and neighboring Palm Beach.
Membership
The Palm Beach Sailing Club offers its members a number of exclusive benefits. These include numerous social events each year, such as Christmas Holiday Party, the Halloween Party, and the popular end-of-the-month social. Small boat regattas and the club’s ever popular Wednesday Night Race Series remain a part of the PBSC’s seafaring tradition. The sailing instruction program introduces new fans to the sport every year. A wide variety of membership categories is available, all reasonably priced. We welcome you to find out more about the benefits of membership by contacting the PBSC.
Youth Sailing
PBSC only employs US Sailing certified instructors and counselors. Instructors and counselors are certified by the US Sailing Association complete with CPR and First Aid Certificates.
Summer Sailing Camp is available to children ages 7-16. Our 2017 Summer Camp starts June 5th and runs through August 4th. An additional Summer Camp week from August 7 through August 11 is available by invitation only. Summer Camp will be closed July 3 – 7.
Each sailor will receive a t-shirt with their registration. Sailing is a lifetime sport and many of our campers have advanced to become some of the best sailors in the country. Please fill out the registration form on the opposite side of this flyer and mail or fax it to the Palm Beach Sailing Club.
Your child will experience the joy of sailing and learning the essential elements of boat handling, seamanship, water safety and sportsmanship in a safe and fun environment.
Campers gain self confidence as they master the skills of sailing, learning lifelong lessons that build character, foster teamwork, and strengthen respect for self, others, and the marine environment.
Basic swimming skills are required. Camp will be held rain or shine and in the event of bad weather, basic skills and sailing – related activities will be taught indoors.
Youth Sailing Team
Our Youth Sailing Team meets during both the fall and spring school semesters. We refine the basic sailing skills that have been taught during camps and teach the racing rules and tactics of sailing in two fleets. For the younger sailors we have our International Optimist fleet and for the older sailors we have a fleet of Lasers. Both fleets are sailed around the world and in the Olympics.
