What others say about us

Wet Pants is a sailing club with active racing and social components – what a wonderful thing to make friends who enjoy a common sport!  I love the weeknight and special event races for members.

I love seeing multiple generations put down their devices and truly connect.  That is sailing.  That is Wet Pants.

My favorite thing about Wet Pants is the people!  They come to the club looking for a place where they can sail or learn how to sail.  They meet like-minded members who help them fix their boats or take them out for a sail.  Wet Pants puts sailors in touch with sailors.

I have watched my children transform in the WPSA sailing program from completely reluctant uninterested students to passionate skilled sailors who can’t wait for sailing season to return each year.  We are now restoring a Rhodes 19′ sailboat to sail!
