In April of 2019, US Sailing announced a new community sailing program made possible by a major donation from the Thomas and Stacey Siebel Foundation. The purpose of this ground-breaking Siebel Sailors Program is to increase diversity and opportunity in the sport of sailing by providing resources and support to youth sailors at public access sailing centers across the country.

US Sailing is highlighting the Supporting Siebel Centers who will implement this innovative program from our Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and Northern California Regions. These designated centers at locations throughout the country will support an important US Sailing objective of providing increased access to sailing for youth, regardless of socioeconomic background, and will receive a fleet of sail boats, other necessary equipment, and expert coaching.

US Sailing is excited to partner with the following Supporting Siebel Centers:

Northern California Region:

  • Alameda Community Sailing Center (Calif.)
  • Golden Gate Yacht Club Youth Sailing Foundation (Calif.)
Midwest Region:
  • Sheridan Shore Sailing School (Ill.)
  • Jackson Park Yacht Club Foundation (Ill.)
  • Sheboygan Youth Sailing Center (Wis.)
Mid-Atlantic Region:
  • Downtown Sailing Center (Md.)
  • Baltimore County Sailing Center (Md.)
