OCSC Sailing began in 1979, with one boat, a shed, and a simple idea: share the joy of sailing and take care of our clients the way we’d want our friends and family to be treated. Three decades later, we’re still doing the same thing. Our community has grown, but we still know our customers, and they are still our friends.

Our Mission
We teach sailing to enhance people’s inextricable link to the ocean, to nature and to each other. We do this as stewards and teachers of the joy, art, science, tradition and responsibility of sailing. We’re sailors on a voyage of discovery. Welcome aboard.
