History and Facilities

South Portland Sailing Center had it's beginnings as a sailing club with a fleet of dinghies in 2012.  As we learned about our clientele in South Portland, Maine, the decision was made to switch from dinghies to small keel boats to better serve our customers.  We have been an affiliate school of the American Sailing Association since the summer of 2014. We also partnered with the city of South Portland to bring a positive presence to the underutilized Thomas Knight Park, a hidden gem to many southern Maine residents. 

We were happy to partner with MountainSea to offer destination classes during the off season between the fall of 2018 and spring of 2019 and look forward to more destination trips throughout the coming year.

We will continue to campaign the Pearson Ensign for the 2019 season for the Centerboard Yacht Club Wednesday night race series.   If you've not yet visited Thomas Knight Park in South Portland, this summer is the perfect time to stop by!
