Welcome to MSA

Learn to Sail, Love to Sail.

Welcome

Manchester Sailing Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community sailing organization based in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts.

Since its founding in 1971, MSA has grown to serve youth and adults from Manchester and the Greater Boston area through a comprehensive range of sailing programs, from introductory learn-to-sail classes to race teams, and beyond. 2025 was an incredible year for our programs, and we can't wait for the next season!

Summer 2026 JSP

Junior Sailing Program Registration will open on January 5, 2026. This year's program adds new classes and more capacity to the curriculum introduced in 2025, further improving instruction across skill levels and ensuring that every sailor finds their best fit within the environment of learning, passion, and community that MSA is known for.

Whether you're wondering what class to register for, need help navigating our registration platform, or want to learn more about scholarships, newcomers and returning families are encouraged to contact Tommy McCormick, Program Director, via email: tommy@manchestersailing.org
