Water Activities: Nantucket Community Sailing - Jetties Sailing Center

#Enjoy Nantucket from the Water!

##About Join Nantucket Community Sailing aboard a range of keelboats this summer for a FREE beautiful sail in Nantucket's Harbor and out into Nantucket Sound! Crew members 60 years and older are welcome. This program is affiliated with Nantucket's Saltmarsh Senior Center.

Participants may take an active role in sailing the boat, or are welcome to sit back and relax. Participants may have varying physical abilities, but should be able to step on to the boat and over the life-line, with as much assistance as-needed, and down into the seat. They may need to move from seat to seat on the boat, but going out onto the deck of the boat is not necessary; they may remain in the cockpit for the length of the sail or as they feel most comfortable. Sails will be wind and weather-dependent.

##What to Bring

• Closed-toe shoes (old sneakers or non-marking boat shoes are best)
• Layers, including a light jacket (it can be chilly in the evening out on the water)
• Sunglasses/hat; sunblock (please avoid using spray sunblock as it will strip the boat's finish);
• A light snack; and a water bottle (or non-alcoholic beverage) if-wanted (no glass).
• A PFD will be provided

##Location Guests will meet NCS instructors at the Nantucket Harbor Launch dock that sits just behind the Straight Wharf Restaurant, next to the Hyline Ferry Office.
