Free US Sailing Membership Benefits

Your US Sailing Basic Keelboat Certification comes with a free one-year membership in this very worthwhile organization. If you are a power cruise graduate, your US Powerboat Certification comes from US Sailing too. This is the governing body of sailing in the United States, organized in 1897 and appointed as the sailing national governing body by Congress in 1978. US Sailing represents the U.S. in all international competitions including the Olympics. It also provides many avenues to participate in sailing and racing on a local level. When you earn US Sailing Bareboat Cruising Certification, you can get your International Proficiency Certificate (IPC), which enables you to skipper boats in Europe, the Med and other dream destinations overseas.
