      At Griffin Sailing School (GSS), we realize that sailing is unavailable to everyone. For many folks, sailing is mysterious or inaccessible. GSS offers them the opportunity to have fun, sail on the Hudson River, and learn about sailing and life on the water. Speak to your organization about community sailing and ask them to Contact Us. We are happy to work with nonprofit and religious organizations, schools, villages, towns, public institutions, and anyone who wants to learn to sail. We will work with you to develop programs with equal and easy access to maritime education and sailing fun. We will do our best to accommodate special needs when possible. Sailing is fun, friendly, and healthy for the world and humanity. Sailing teaches cooperation and many other practical skills that apply at sea and everyday life, whether sailing on the Hudson River or offshore. 

      We welcome your ideas. Let's make it happen!
