29th Annual Free-Sailing Weekend Launches 2005 Sailing Season in Boston
Free sailboat rides along Boston's historic waterfront -- Public Event Will Raise Funds to Support Boston Harbor Conservation Measures
(PRWEB) April 6, 2005 -- Free sailboat rides along Boston's historic
waterfront will highlight a weekend of celebration as the sailing season gets
underway on Saturday and Sunday, April 30 and May 1, 2005, from 1pm to 6pm at
the Boston Sailing Center.
Seasoned skippers and first-time sailors of
all ages are invited to join the festivities at Lewis Wharf. Harbor sailing
trips will be conducted by experienced sailors aboard a fleet of boats ranging
in length from 23 to 40 feet. The Center's teaching staff will be on hand to
answer questions about sailing basics, and about the history of Boston Harbor as
a focal point of maritime activity in New England.
Those who sign up
during the event will have a portion of their lesson and/or membership fee
donated to Save The Harbor/Save the Bay, a nonprofit agency working to conserve
and improve Boston Harbor as a recreational resource.
This year's event
marks the 29th annual Free-Sailing Weekend at the Boston Sailing Center.
Headquartered in a converted Louisiana riverboat which is permanently docked at
Lewis Wharf, the Center’s floating classroom and boat moorings are just a short
walk north of Faneuil Hall Marketplace along Atlantic Avenue. Public parking is
available nearby.
For more information, contact the Center at (617)
227-4198 or visit their website at www.bostonsailingcenter.com.
