Courageous Sailing's mission is to transform children's lives through sailing programs that inspire learning, personal growth and leadership.

Courageous Sailing was established in 1987 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit in a joint effort between the City of Boston Parks and Recreation Department and the late South Boston sailing enthusiast Harry McDonough.  Courageous Sailing has since grown into a dynamic, multi-faceted educational facility serving over 1,000 at-risk and disadvantaged children each year.  Through the organization’s Courage Curriculum, young sailors develop essential leadership competencies in personal responsibility, communication, problem-solving, teamwork and stewardship.  Demand for Courageous Sailing’s programs is at a record high with close to two-thirds (600) of the eager young children who attempt to register for our summer program being turned away due to a lack of sufficient capacity.

At Courageous, we are committed to building community around the sport of sailing, and providing the community with some of the best, and most affordable sailing opportunities on Boston Harbor.  Our reach extends beyond children, through our adult membership program.

As a US Sailing Keelboat School, we offer a full range of courses for novices and experts alike, taught by only the highest quality instructors.  Our membership options are extremely convenient and affordable, providing easy access to our fleet and Boston Harbor, from May through October.  And the benefits of membership at Courageous includes so much more, from racing and barbecues, to moonlight sails and camping trips, to great discounts on courses.
