Nantucket Community Sailing

Artisan Organization: Nantucket Community Sailing

Country:

Nantucket Community Sailing is an educational non-profit that provides affordable access to sailing and water sports to the public. The mission of NCS is to engage people of all ages in the joy of sailing, offering access to all Nantucket’s youth, and teaching every participant in our programs enduring life and leadership skills, with a deep respect for the marine environment.

Nantucket Community Sailing actively supports the local community by offering youth scholarships and outreach programming. As an example, in 2016 NCS served 1000 children and provided $130,000 in sailing scholarships and free community outreach programs.

Nantucket Community Sailing is supported by the generosity of its friends, members, donors, and sponsors; by various grants, and through the funds raised during Nantucket Race Week, and by the sales of merchandise and books like the ones in this collection."
