Change to 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 now 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.)

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.
