About the provider
Hudson River Community Sailing is a non-profit youth development and community sailing organization serving New York City youth and the community at large. Its mission is to develop leadership and academic success in underserved New York City youth through sailing education and to provide maritime education and recreation to the community at large.
New York City Parks has closed Dyckman Marina in Inwood for a waterfront reconstruction project planned for 2026-2027; as a result, sailing will only take place in Chelsea.
