Tim, the Boston Sailing Center was one of the models our Founder, Jonathan Edwards had in mind when he established Sail Sand Point. More is in the website about the History. Since joining the Board at SSP in 2000, it has been a slow but steady program to add Multihulls, first in storage, and now directly in the programs.

The US SAILING Training Center is an idea we have tried to promote at US SAILING. So far it has not gained traction. We do offer all levels US SAILING instruction training here. Our Executive Director is the Regional Director for Training. All of our classes are based on US SAILING programs, with Level 1 Instructors. Example, Chris Fuller,and Callie Wade, one of our teams that will be at the US Youth Mulithull Championship in CA later this month are both Level 1 Instructors.

I agree, US SAILING needs to support and promote Community Sailing Programs. There is a Community Sailing Council and Multihull Council in US SAILING they just do not get enough support. More people need to step forward and volunteer to take part in their meetings and programs. I have been attending their meetings for six years, and serve on the Multihull Council. All sailors are welcome to attend.
