About Us

Anchors Aweigh Sailing School

Anchors Aweigh Sailing School offers the widest range and the highest levels of ASA certifications and endorsements in Connecticut.

 

At Anchors Aweigh, we believe sailing is a passion; it is more than boating, it is a connection with the wind and the water.  We can help you reach your sailing goal, whether it be to sail on your local lake, spend a day on the Long Island Sound, race in regattas, or sail to the Bahamas.  We can help you learn how to face the challenges of sailing while keeping you, your family & friends, and your boat safe and balanced.

 

We are located on the Thames River in New London, CT.
