A cornerstone of CISF’s mission is to further engage and connect people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds with the joy of boating.Thanks to a partnership with TPG Marinas, CISF owns a 23 ft Sonar keelboat. Lessons are available from June through September. We offer family sailing, women’s sailing, adult lessons, bay adventures, and more! 

Thank you for a great summer! We will resume community sailing lessons in June 2025!

2024 Details

Location
We will meet right downtown in Jamestown in front of the TPG Conanicut Marina office. The address is 1 East Ferry Wharf Unit 1, Jamestown, RI 02835.

Parking
The 2 hour parking lot in front of the marina is very strict! We recommend parking in longer term parking along Conanicus Ave.

What to Bring
Please wear comfortable clothes, layers, and shoes with good grip. We provide life jackets but you are welcome to bring your own.

Sonars are one-design keelboats that are comfortable day sailors. They easily hold 3 to 5 people. It is the perfect vessel to learn the basics of sailing, as well as racing and sailing tactics. Moored in East Ferry, lessons will be offered this upcoming summer, where new and experienced sailors alike can explore Narragansett Bay!
