We believe that sailing teaches critical life skills, including athleticism, teamwork, leadership, self-reliance and responsibility.

We believe what you see on the water will change the way you see life on land.

We believe people who never sailed are missing something.

We believe we can change that.

The National Sailing Hall of Fame is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization that promotes sailing by preserving America’s sailing legacy, celebrating its heroes and engaging the next generation.

VISION

We envision an America where people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities can participate in sailing, the sport for a lifetime.

STRATEGY STATEMENT

The National Sailing Hall of Fame promotes sailing by recognizing its heroes; highlighting sailing’s contribution to the American culture and experience; and demonstrating its value as a hands-on tool for scholastic and life skills learning.
