Community Sailing New Orleans

Community Sailing New Orleans We offer free and low-cost sailing classes for youth, adult, and adaptive sailors, using sailing as a platform for education, career and personal development.

We work to make sailing and Lake Pontchartrain accessible to all - come sail with us! Community Sailing New Orleans positively impacts lives by providing accessible educational, recreational, and career development opportunities on Lake Pontchartrain for people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities with an emphasis on serving low and moderate income and minority communities in the area by provid

ing access to a community asset that has been historically inaccessible to those large segments of the population. We have programming for everyone with a special focus on youth, individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, military Veterans, and anyone facing economic barriers to sailing. Community Sailing New Orleans is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

☀️ Fun in the sun has been the theme of the week for our Big Boat Campers! ☀️

This week, campers have been out on Lake Pontchartrain learning the fundamentals of sailing aboard our keelboats. They've taken turns steering the boat, securing lines, raising sails, and working together as a crew…and of course, enjoying time cruising around the lake, making new friends, and creating summer memories they'll never forget.

There's nothing quite like a week on the water! 🌊

Day 1 drills in Small Boat Camp mean hitting the water... literally! 🌊⛵

One of the first steps in learning how to sail a dinghy is learning how to safely recover from a capsize on your own. Before our campers start racing across Lake Pontchartrain, they need to know exactly what to do if their boat tips over…..and we're proud to report that our campers absolutely nailed it! From staying calm in the water to righting their boats and climbing back aboard, they showed confidence, determination, and some serious sailing potential.

Capsize drills: complete. ✅
Future sailors: loading... ⛵

When the Executive Director’s birthday falls on a summer camp day, it makes for an extra special celebration! 🎉⛵

Our campers took a break from camp adventures to sing Happy Birthday to our Executive Director, Heather, and even surprised her with a sweet handmade birthday card. Their thoughtfulness made the day even more memorable!

Please join us in wishing Heather a very happy birthday and an amazing year ahead! 💙🎂

Week 1️⃣ of Summer Sailing Camp is officially underway! ⛵️☀️

Our young sailors are already getting their sea legs as they spend day two learning and sailing on Lake Pontchartrain. This morning, campers practiced an important sailing skill: how to safely dock their boats. This afternoon’s lesson: learning the difference between tacking and jibing, and why the direction your sails are pointing can make all the difference when you’re harnessing the power of the wind!

From hoisting sails to making new friends, it’s been a fantastic start to a summer full of adventure on the water!

👀 Are those tall ship sails we see up and down the riverfront? 👀

The tall ships are arriving in New Orleans, and we love seeing sails flying high and proud along the Mississippi River in honor of SAIL250 New Orleans! ⚓️⛵️

Today, we remember and honor the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who have served our country, and the families who have served alongside them.

We are especially grateful for the veterans and military families we’ve had the privilege of getting to know through our military sailing programs. Your strength, service, and sacrifice inspire us every day. ❤️🤍💙

Wishing everyone a meaningful Memorial Day as we remember those who gave so much for our freedom. 🇺🇸
