PSA to Host Open Boat Event

Parklawn Sailing Association (PSA) will conduct sailing training each weekend in April.  Join the Club now so you can reserve your weekends and come out and sail with new and old friends.  PSA will be offering refresher training, docking and by popular demand, some overnight training.  If there is interest this year, we will do a basic diesel engine class and spinnaker class.  It is important to make time in April for training because as the season progresses you will want to spend your time enjoying your sailing time on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay.

Founded in 1968, PSA is a cooperative, recreational sailing club that welcomes new members. The Club owns three well-equipped cruising/racing boats of 30 and 34 feet, docked in Galesville, an attractive small town on the West River, 10 miles south of Annapolis.  We sail right off the dock and into the nearby Chesapeake Bay.  For reservations, respond to: [email protected].
