Welcome Sailors!

See Where The Wind Takes You!

Founding Philosophy

Membership Responsibilities

Founding Philosophy

 Namequoit Sailing Association (NSA) is first and foremost a friendly, low key, family oriented sailing club. We teach sailing and promote the enjoyment of being on the waters of Pleasant Bay.

The original handful of family members did a lot to get us to where we are today; we have a comfortable clubhouse with a deck overlooking Frost Fish Cove, dock facilities, a well respected sailing school, an active racing schedule and a year round slate of activities.

A summer, weekend racing series is open to all Family and Associate members. Everyone, regardless of skill, is encouraged to participate including the Youth Sailors.

Club Structure

Membership Responsibilities

Founding Philosophy

We are a non-profit organization where Family Membership is limited to 60 families and ​an Associate Membership is available for those who no longer have a boat, as well as for those who just want to participate in the adult racing program. A Flag Membership category is also available to members who are no longer active sailors but want to continue to enjoy the friendships they have forged over the years. Family Members can hold offices and vote; Associate and Flag members may not.

Membership Responsibilities

Membership Responsibilities

Membership Responsibilities

 Because we are a small family organization, members are expected to find a comfortable level of participation in the overall activities that contribute to the administration and the well-being of NSA. To keep expenses low and, in the spirt of the non-profit volunteer organization, we have well organized maintenance work parties in the spring and fall - coffee and donuts provided!!!

Social Activities

Social Activities

Membership Responsibilities

 We not only enjoy camaraderie on the water, but on land as well. We have friendly Cook-In’s (potluck gatherings) throughout the winter and monthly club gatherings in June through September, including our traditional Lobster Bake. We also schedule group cruises which sail to an island for snacks and beverages and/or a lunch at the Wequassett Inn!

Capital Fund

Social Activities

Capital Fund

The Capital Fund was initiated in 2013 in conjunction with a rolling 5-year Capital Plan to provide for anticipated and unanticipated capital needs as they arise. It is vitally important to keep our equipment upgraded, repaired, competitive and, above all, safe for our students and instructors.

Contributions since 2013 by both members and friends/relatives of members have enabled us to acquire 12 sailboats and one Boston Whaler, repower another Whaler and make several improvements in and around our clubhouse. While there will always be capital needs, we are well prepared to operate a top-tier junior sailing program.

Family Membership is limited to 60 Family Members. Because we are a sailing club, a requirement for membership is a registered sailboat on Pleasant Bay. As well as the ability to participate in the summer racing program and all social activities, Family Membership offers a discount for the Junior Sailing Program, voting rights in the club, and the opportunity to hold a position on the Board. Family Membership is $275 for the season.

Flag Sailing Membership

This membership applies only to long time NSA family members that have decided that a Family membership no longer fits their needs but still enjoy being closely connected to the club and its members. Flag members have no vote, do not race and no longer keep a boat at the club facilities. They do participate in social activities. Annual Flag Membership fee is $125.
