Southern Shores Community Sailing
Mission: The Mission of the Southern Shores Community Sailing Program is to fostering educational and recreational watersport opportunities for members and guests of our community.

Goals:  Our goal for the community sailing program is to promote sailing and other recreational water sports by creating the opportunity for residents and guests from our communities to learn new skills and and have fun in our sounds and ocean. 

SSCA is happy to announce the start of a community sailing program beginning on June 24th with the National Summer SAILstice event to promote sailing and paddling in our community.  Hardy Peters will be helping the SSCA organize and run these events over the 2017 summer.  Four events have been planned for this summer so far.  Hardy has been a lifelong sailor, having grown up on the water and re-discovered sailing in his mid 40’s and is now helping promote sailing through his business, East Coast Sailboats, Inc.  ‘I believe that sailing, as well as other water sports, are a life skills and that it is important for people, young and old, to experience them.’ says Peters.  ‘Look around us, there is water everywhere, we are lucky to have it all at our finger tips, let’s get some boats on it and enjoy the experience!’ He added.  Events will be held at the SS North Marina and are open to all SSCA members and guests..
