    “I Love SoBo Day” is the annual community celebration of all things South Baltimore. It is hosted by South Baltimore United, Inc., the nonprofit publisher of the South Baltimore Peninsula Post. The event is free and open to the public.

    The DSC will participate with a Vendor Table to advertise membership, Youth, and Adult Education, and will provide a limited number of sailing outings to interested people.

    There will be two 1-hour tours per boat, starting at 10:00 and 11:15. 

    We are looking for:

    • Skippers and Crew (there will be 1 skipper + 1 crew per boat) 
    • Escorters - take participants from the vendor table to the docks, help with PFDs
    • Table Volunteers - help with sign-ups to go sailing, describe DSC programs, and answer questions (Two shifts, 8:30-11:30 includes set-up time, 11:30-1:30 includes clean-up)

    Thank you for your help! This event was a lot of fun last year and we are excited to participate again!

    Women on the Water (WOW)

     An all-volunteer effort to increase access to sailing for all women and non-binary people.

    We welcome beginners at WOW events! If you are interested in learning more about sailing or getting introduced to sailing, please join as a beginner on WOW Mondays.

    WOW events are educational, and boat groups will be formed so that each boat has a skilled skipper aboard. Skippers, we'll make sure you have an experienced crew aboard with you if desired!

    If you are already checked out as a DSC skipper, please sign up to volunteer skipper. This will allow you to develop your skills while boosting other women. We cannot run this program without your support!

    WOW will take place on the first and third Mondays during the season.

    The Downtown Sailing Center welcomes women and non-binary people of all skills and experience levels to participate with us, including non-DSC-members.

    A small fee for nonmembers of $35/session helps us maintain our boats. If you think you will be attending multiple events, please consider joining as a member of the DSC! (If you join after attending a WOW event, we'll return your $35 in the form of a membership discount!)

    Women on the Water (WOW)

     An all-volunteer effort to increase access to sailing for all women and non-binary people.

    We welcome beginners at WOW events! If you are interested in learning more about sailing or getting introduced to sailing, please join as a beginner on WOW Mondays.

    WOW events are educational, and boat groups will be formed so that each boat has a skilled skipper aboard. Skippers, we'll make sure you have an experienced crew aboard with you if desired!

    If you are already checked out as a DSC skipper, please sign up to volunteer skipper. This will allow you to develop your skills while boosting other women. We cannot run this program without your support!

    WOW will take place on the first and third Mondays during the season.

    The Downtown Sailing Center welcomes women and non-binary people of all skills and experience levels to participate with us, including non-DSC-members.

    A small fee for nonmembers of $35/session helps us maintain our boats. If you think you will be attending multiple events, please consider joining as a member of the DSC! (If you join after attending a WOW event, we'll return your $35 in the form of a membership discount!)

    If you have further questions, email info@downtownsailing.org
