SAILING CLUB’S MISSION
The purpose of the Coconut Grove Sailing Club is to encourage the sport of sailing, to promote the science of seamanship and navigation, to sponsor cruises, races and instructional classes, and to foster a spirit of cooperation and good fellowship.
CLUB ORIGIN
1946, the Coconut Grove Sailing Club was started by a group of Miami residents based on a shared love for sailing, a passion for Biscayne Bay and, a spirit of volunteerism in providing community service. The founding members formed the club to provide a safe venue to teach children to sail and to run sailboat regattas for the community. The original CGSC had no club house, merely a storage shack. There were no moorings; sailors simply anchored out in the basin.
Over the years, CGSC became a leader in the international sailing community. Thousands have learned to sail at CGSC, and if you’re just dipping your big toe into the friendly waters of Biscayne Bay, you couldn’t find a better place.
