Keep the Bay's best sailing school alive.

Join the flotilla
Community rescue mission

Save Club Nautique—the Bay's best sailing school—before it's gone.

We're rallying former members, instructors, staff, and boat owners to keep the school sailing with community ownership and the same exceptional training that made CN legendary.

What we need now

  • Commitments from the CN community (members, owners, instructors, staff).
  • Investment and dues pledges to bid on assets and resume operations.
  • Instructors ready to resume teaching classes.
  • Boat owners willing to keep their boats in the fleet.
  • Transition help—marketing, tech, admin—to get things restarted.
