The United States Sailing Association (US Sailing) is the national governing body for sailing in the United States. Founded in 1897 and headquartered in Bristol, Rhode Island , US Sailing is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization.
Membership is low cost, less than the cost of insurance on a privately owned sailboat, and works on a sliding scale based on age, experience and income. The Sailing Center also offers private boat owners 24-hour access to the lake, year-round boat and dinghy storage, mast stepping boat launching and haul out services.
AYC has long had an active junior sailing program. In 1925, shortly after the founding of the Junior Sailing Association of Long Island (JSA) in 1924, the club developed a new class of boats specifically for junior sailors. This initiative under the leadership of then Commodore Philip Mallory, introduced a new type of boat called the Wee Scotts.
In 1910 there were 65 boats registered at the club of which 27 were sail boats. The largest of these was the sailing houseboat Savilla 86' with a 24' beam. HYC is a founding member of US Sailing, the "Yacht Racing Association of Long Island Sound" and the "Junior Sailing Association of Long Island Sound".
One of American Sailing's most renowned and esteemed contributors is Peter Isler who has been part of five America's Cup campaigns, authored two sailing books of his own and is known as one of the most distinguished sailors in the world. Through the years American Sailing has formed bonds and partnerships with publications and manufacturers.
Incorporated in 1896, Jubilee Yacht Club is a private membership based organization with over 400 active members. Jubilee has an active cruising fleet, a busy regatta schedule, an active social calendar, and frequent fishing tournaments. The club is also a strong supporter of junior sailing.
