Join us for our new SEASON OPENER SAILABRATION
NEXT
 WEDNESDAY MARCH 11th! 

Join us as we kick off the spring sailing season with an unforgettable evening of sunset views, sailboat races, and a spectacular fireworks show over Lake Pontchartrain — generously sponsored by our friends at Gulf Coast Bank & Trust to commemorate the occasion.

Tickets are just $45 and include sips, light bites, and balcony access overlooking Lake Pontchartrain — the perfect spot to watch the Wednesday Night Racing, catch sunset, and experience an amazing fireworks show generously sponsored by Gulf Coast Bank & Trust. Entry begins at 6:30 PM. Fireworks are scheduled for around 8:00 PM (sunset dependent), and the event concludes at 8:30 PM.

Bring a friend, invite your crew (adults only), and come experience the energy of the start of sailing season on Lake Pontchartrain!

MISSION MOMENT

Women in the Wind is my FAVORITE CSNO program! I see women and non-binary individuals from across Greater New Orleans making new friends, overcoming self-doubt, supporting one another, and growing as sailors. It’s always a blast whether it’s their first time on the water or experienced sailors expanding their community.
It’s really cool to see the group take charge and command the boat even if it’s a light cruising day. People come out of their shells during Women in the Wind classes in a way I believe is really unique to that program.
