The Pentagon Sailing Club is a volunteer association dedicated to safe recreational sailing on the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, the Chesapeake Bay, and wherever the winds may take us. We base our operations out of Capital Cove Marina on Bolling Air Force Base, and maintain a fleet of club-owned sailboats. The PSC offers classroom training, on-the-water sailing instruction, recreational sailing, and club charters. We train and qualify our members in affiliation with the U.S. Naval Sailing Association.

Labor Day Raft-Up, September 5 - 7, 2009

Spaces on the two PSC Boats are going fast; only 5 berths left!

We just finished a terrific Memorial Day raft-up and it's now time to get ready for the spectacular Labor Day raft-up.  This is going to be another great PSC sailing/social event and the final raft-up of 2009.  We will be heading to a raft-up location in Trippe Creek off the Tred Avon River.  We will then sail to a marina in Cambridge for Sunday night.  Space of the PSC club boats will be very limited so you will need to sign up early to guarantee a space.

Remember: Members going on their first ever PSC Raft-Up get a $50.00 discount from regular raft-up prices.

The Lubber's Line

The only slightly overdue March/April issue of the PSC newsletter, the Lubber's Line, is now available.  Click the link above to check out the new issue for information on the upcoming PSC events and great sailing stories from PSC members.

Sign Up Procedure for PSC Sails, Classes, and Events

In order to streamline our administrative and accounting procedures, all applications, registration forms, and payments for PSC sails and training classes should be sent to the PSC Treasurer rather than the event or training coordinator.   Over the next few days, specific information will be posted on the appropriate web pages for the activities concerned (e.g., River Training Page, Bay Training Page, Bay Activities Page, etc.)
