Help SSA Raise $10,000+ to Support Junior Sailing!

For over 50 years, SSA has been a national and international leader in junior sailing, inspiring generations of young sailors who carry their passion for the sport into lifelong adventures—whether through ocean cruising, one-design racing, grand prix competition, or day sailing.

As we gear up for the 2025 summer season, we need your support to raise $10,000+ to ensure SSA continues providing a safe, high-quality, and world-class youth sailing program. Your donation will help fund critical items from our Director’s Wish List (checkout some of the items below), keeping our training, coaching, and equipment at the highest level.

Parents, grandparents, SSA members, and supporters—this is your chance to make a lasting impact! By contributing, you help young sailors develop confidence, skills, and a lifelong love for the sport.

Our camps and race teams are filling up quickly, and with your help, we can offer another unforgettable season on the water. Join us in keeping SSA at the forefront of junior sailing—donate today and be part of the legacy!

Thank you for your generosity and support—we can’t do it without you!
