| Post subject: | Newbie Sailing in Brooklyn |
Hi, I am very new to sailing. I took a lesson early this summer and went out on the water solo a few dozen times in a Sunfish rental and also a Hobie Bravo that has been rotting in a friend's yard for several years. I had a ton of fun and am looking into buying a used Hobie Bravo or Wave of my own this fall when the prices probably drop. I spent the summer sailing on a 277 acre lake in Pennsylvania where we rent a house, but I am now home to Brooklyn, NY. I don't think I have the skill (or guts) to sail in NY Harbor or the Hudson/East Rivers, but I would guess there is probably great sailing available in the various bays in Brooklyn/Queens/Long Island. Google has failed me and I can't seem to find any sailing information or groups besides the 1001 sailing charters in NYC or some info for much larger boats. The one exception is there seems to be a great catamaran club in Sandy Hook, NJ but that would cost me about $50 in tolls round trip. Does anyone know where I can find advice about where a small cat would be permitted to sail nearby? Or maybe some clubs similar to the Sandy Hook one I found? Thank you! I am hoping to get out on the water more than two months of the year. |

There must be many clubs around...I've sailed off Jennings Beach Fairfield CT, a typical location, so there must be others like that closer to Brooklyn. Ask Google.... |
