The weather has been absolutely gorgeous for January and we are working hard to get the boats ready for the Spring season.
It is our intention to reopen the sailing center on the 25th of January. (Weather permitting of course.) Therefore afterschool on 1/25 (starting at 3:30p- dark) we will have a work day, to flip boats over, put up the rigs, etc. We need YOUR help! Please spread the word to your team.
Looking forward to 2012 & getting you all on the water!
We hope you and your loved ones had a wonderful holiday season. As it is a new year, we are very excited for new programs, the start of the high school sailing season and already planning for Summer 2012.
Weather permitting the sailing center will be open by the end of the month. Stay tuned for information about a work day on our website and on our Facebook page!

Dear Friends, Supporters & Fellow Sailors,
Everyday as I drive over the James Island Connector and see small boats sailing in the Ashley River, I smile and think to myself: Wow, this is what I help provide, opportunities for youth and adults to learn valuable life lessons on the water! I have an amazing and rewarding job and I am forever grateful. Celebrating our 13th year of Charleston Community Sailing, we are grateful for YOU, the supporters that have provided the resources and structure that enable our community and programs to keep growing and thriving.
We’re thinking BIG as we look toward Charleston Community Sailing’s future. Your generosity has brought us such a great distance since 1999. Will you continue to help our organization serve those who gain so much from our programs? We are strong because of your support – we are looking to the future with BIG dreams for a new fleet of boats, an inflatable safety boat and improvements to our facility – your help plays a BIG part in our ability to make a difference in kid’s lives.
Our programs and participants achieved the following in 2011:
• Our Special Olympics Team participated in the 6th Annual Regatta out of JIYC
• Continued successful partnerships with the ChYC & CPRC
• Launched www.sailcharleston.org dedicated to increasing participation & sailing awareness
• Introduced 5-7 year olds to the water with our NEW Guppy Program
• Increased number of scholastic teams that use facility to 11, adding The Citadel and Charleston Day School Opti Team
• Held our 5th Annual Oyster Roast with 300 attendees
We invite you to make a year-end investment to ensure that Charleston Community Sailing remains strong. We need your help, especially in the current economic environment. Together we are a strong community that supports itself. Thank you so much for all you have done, and continue to do, to keep CCS healthy and strong. We hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
Kindest Regards,
Jessica Koenig
Executive Director
