Sailing Philadelphia

Why sailing?

Welcome to the city of Philadelphia… Home to the Eagles, the Phillies, the Sixers, and little to modern recollection: home to one of the most vibrant and important watersheds on the eastern seaboard.

Thousands of people go about their day in Philadelphia never thinking about the fact that we’re sandwiched between the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers.  While cars, trucks, bicycles, and planes go flying by the rivers carry on being the original super highways of the world.

As a lifetime sailor and watershed enthusiast, I  hope to bring people together to see and enjoy the city of Philadelphia in a unique way… bringing more people to the rivers to see and explore their natural beauty.
