Sandy Point Sailing's Officers and Board of Directors
Sandy Point Sailing Association has an all-volunteer Board of Directors and Officer corps. Many of our Directors are members of the Jubilee or Salem Willows Yacht Clubs, although this is not a requirement. In addition, many Board members are parents of current or former Sandy Point students and current and former Sandy Point instructors. Some are even former instructors themselves. Each board member has a passion for sailing and a desire to see new sailors who develop a life-long passion for sailing.
