Universal Sailing Club was founded in 2001 and organized by African-American sailors from the Baltimore, Annapolis, and DC areas. Universal Sailing Club serves to promote the community aspect of sailing and connect individuals passionate about being on the water. The club organizes on-the-water sailing activities, raft-ups, and cruising getaways. Its members have participated in sailing charter events as captains and crew along the Atlantic coast, in the Caribbean, the Pacific, Europe and elsewhere. They have carried the club burgee to locations across the world, including the Seychelles Islands and the Mediterranean. Boat ownership is not a requirement for membership.
